Professor Jérôme De Cooman will explore how the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act incorporates elements of fairness. Contrary to other EU digital law instruments, the AI Act’s provisions contain only scarce references to fairness. Nevertheless, fairness concerns underlie the frameworks of non-discrimination and accountability or answerability in the AI Act. Both substantive and procedural fairness considerations may come into play in the application of the AI Act. The AI Act presents yet another illustration of fairness as a market-based outcome and as a procedural feature accompanying digital legislation.
Jérôme De Cooman is research professor at the University of Liege (Belgium), where he teaches intellectual property, competition, and data law, as well as EU law, (Big) Data and AI Applications. As part of his research, he pays particular attention to the economic impact of generative AI on the art market. He is also lecturer at the Brussels Study Center where he teaches a course on sectoral applications of AI, focused on competition law enforcement and the use of AI on judicial proceedings.
