In Europe, the digital landscape is undergoing significant transformations, driven by both technological advancements and regulatory changes. The primary challenges lie in managing the influence of dominant large platforms while striving to create a fairer, more accessible, and competitive European digital market. In response, the European Union has initiated a regulatory revolution with major legislative acts such as the Artificial Intelligence Act (Ai Act), Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA). The book deals with the impact of these regulatory systems in selected Eu Member States.
Given the significance and cross-disciplinary nature of the topic, the book is divided in two main sections. The first section addresses the recently approved Artificial Intelligence Act and its impact on the regulatory framework and administrative systems of the specified Member States. In light of the increasing integration of artificial intelligence within the public sector across Europe, this section examines the existence of national legislation in the relevant countries and its relationship with the AI Act. Furthermore, this section investigates the organizational and institutional changes in the selected countries, as well as the reinterpretation of traditional principles of administrative law or the creation of new ones to align with the provisions of the Regulation. The second section delves into the complex landscape of the newly introduced DMA and DSA, focusing on the various institutional arrangements adopted by Member States and their national competent administrations to support this new EU legal regime. It provides a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the national-level implementation of these regulations and their implications, highlighting the institutional interplay and the complexities of effective regulation in the digital age.
