• Abstract: With the rapid pace of technological innovation, traditional methods of policy formation and legislating are becoming conspicuously anachronistic. The need for regulatory choices to be made to counter the deadening effect of regulatory lag is more important to developing markets and fostering growth than achieving one off regulatory perfection. This article advances scholarship on innovation policy and the regulation of technological innovation in the European Union. It does so by considering what building an agile yet robust anticipatory governance regulatory culture involves. It systematically excavates a variety of tools and elements that are being put into use in inventive ways and argues that these need to be more cohesively and systemically integrated into the regulatory toolbox. Approaches covered include strategic foresight, the critical embrace of iterative policy development and regulatory learning in the face of uncertainty and the embrace of bottom up approaches to cocreation of policy such as Policy Labs and the testing and regulatory learning through pilot regulation and experimentation. The growing use of regulatory sandboxes as an EU policy tool to boost innovation and navigate regulatory complexity as seen in the EU AI Act is also probed

• Mapping the Regulatory Learning Space for the EU AI Act [0.8987776881291145]
  The EU's AI Act represents the world first transnational AI regulation with concrete enforcement measures. It builds upon existing EU mechanisms for product health and safety regulation, but extends it to protect fundamental rights. These extensions introduce uncertainties in terms of how the technical state of the art will be applied to AI system certification and enforcement actions. We argue that these uncertainties, coupled with the fast changing nature of AI and the relative immaturity of the state of the art in fundamental rights risk management require the implementation of the AI Act to place a strong emphasis on comprehensive and rapid regulatory learning.
