Compliance with EU Acts: Do not hope for the regulators

I was recently interviewed as a legal expert as part of a study conducted at Technical University of Munich (TUM) about the legal challenges and regulatory frameworks for the use of AI in EdTech (Education Tech).

This is an excerpt from this Interview where I was asked whether enterprises in the EdTech space can hope for help from the regulators (meaning the EU’s or national legislative bodies) on how to comply with the different digital Acts (AI Act, GDPR, DSA, DMA, Data Act, etc.) and regulatory frameworks and maybe even some changes in the law to lighten the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

My realistic answer is that regulators did not do their jobs well enough and now enterprises, authorities and the courts are left to deal with the resulting ambiguities.
