Brando Benifei was one of the European Parliament’s lead negotiators on the AI Act. He joins Risto Uuk to discuss what it will take to put the law into practice. They examine oversight of general-purpose AI models, whether the AI Office has enough resources, and how fragmented implementation affects European innovation. Benifei also explains how independent research and civil society can support enforcement.
