Hungary has officially begun the implementation of the European Union’s AI Act with the passage of a new resolution. This marks a significant step forward in the country’s efforts to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in line with EU standards. The resolution, which aligns with the EU AI Act, lays out specific guidelines for the oversight and governance of AI systems, focusing on high-risk applications such as healthcare, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure.

The implementation plan includes establishing a national regulatory body tasked with ensuring compliance with the AI Act’s requirements, including transparency, accountability, and risk management. Hungary’s approach emphasizes the need for AI systems to be both innovative and secure, with clear rules for data protection and ethical use.

This move positions Hungary as one of the first EU member states to actively adopt the AI Act, setting a precedent for other countries. The resolution underscores Hungary’s commitment to fostering a regulatory environment that balances innovation with public safety and ethical considerations.
