The AI Office, established in June, will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the AI Act.

The primary tasks of the AI Office include supporting the enforcement of the AI Act and general-purpose AI regulations. The office will also collaborate with leading AI developers, the scientific community, and other experts to draft codes of practice and documentation concerning the labeling of AI-generated content and templates for data sources used in training AI models. These codes are expected to be developed within nine months after the AI Act takes effect, tentatively in spring 2025. Additionally, the office will focus on creating technical standards that allow rightsholders to opt out of data mining when AI developers use their creative content.

The AI Office is staffed and chaired by Lucilla Sioli, former Director for AI and Digital Industry within the Directorate-General CNECT at the European Commission.

The AI Act will also establish a scientific panel of experts, selected by the European Commission, to provide independent and specialised knowledge.
