This collective reading marks the end of Gwendolin Barnard’s residence at the Institute for Technology in the Public Interest. They have been researching the establishment and current implementation of the EU AI Act – the EU’s initiative to regulate AI in the EU single market, a document which is worth looking at together because it formats the imagination about what AI is and does, and how it can or cannot be regulated. Their specific interest in the EU AI Act builds on their research looking at the impact of datafication on workers in the way labour is accessed, managed, and organized. They are interested in how the law opens or forecloses political possibilities to collectively express interests and needs – especially when it comes to the intense deployment of AI in workplaces.
The session will be divided into two parts:
The first part will set the scene. Gwendolin will present the logic of the AI Act, its history, and building blocks.
This will be followed by a collective reading and analysis of the legal text.
In the second part, Gwendolin will introduce some of their current thinking and theorisations of their research. Feedback, thoughts, responses will be deeply welcomed!

Collective reading of the EU AI Act

This collective reading marks the end of Gwendolin Barnard’s residence at the Institute for Technology in the Public Interest. They have been researching the establishment and current implementation of the EU AI Act – the EU’s initiative to regulate AI in the EU single market, a document which is worth looking at together because it formats the imagination about what AI is and does, and how it can or cannot be regulated. Their specific interest in the EU AI Act builds on their research looking at the impact of datafication on workers in the way labour is accessed, managed, and organized. They are interested in how the law opens or forecloses political possibilities to collectively express interests and needs – especially when it comes to the intense deployment of AI in workplaces.

The session will be divided into two parts: The first part will set the scene. Gwendolin will present the logic of the AI Act, its history, and building blocks. This will be followed by a collective reading and analysis of the legal text. In the second part, Gwendolin will introduce some of their current thinking and theorisations of their research. Feedback, thoughts, responses will be deeply welcomed!
