• Title: The AI Act proposal: a new right to technical interpretability?
• Abstract summary: This work investigates if the new provisions introduced by the proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (AI Act) are enough to indicate the existence of a right to technical explainability in the EU legal framework. This is a preliminary work submitted to the online event organised by the Information Society Law Center and it will be later developed into a full paper.

• Abstract: The debate about the concept of the so called right to explanation in AI is the subject of a wealth of literature. It has focused, in the legal scholarship, on art. 22 GDPR and, in the technical scholarship, on techniques that help explain the output of a certain model (XAI). The purpose of this work is to investigate if the new provisions introduced by the proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (AI Act), in combination with Convention 108 plus and GDPR, are enough to indicate the existence of a right to technical explainability in the EU legal framework and, if not, whether the EU should include it in its current legislation. This is a preliminary work submitted to the online event organised by the Information Society Law Center and it will be later developed into a full paper.

  We present the Explanation Dialogues, an expert focus study to uncover the expectations, reasoning, and understanding of legal experts and practitioners towards XAI. The study consists of an online questionnaire and follow-up interviews, and is centered around a use-case in the credit domain. We find that the presented explanations are hard to understand and lack information, and discuss issues that can arise from the different interests of the data controller and subject.

  We suggest a systematic approach that we applied on the initial draft of the AI Act that has been released in April 2021. We went through several iterations of compiling the list of AI products and projects in and from Germany, which the Lernende Systeme platform lists. It turns out that only about 30% of the AI systems considered would be regulated by the AI Act, the rest would be classified as low-risk.
