It seeks to facilitate the flow of data across the EU while protecting citizens’ fundamental rights – including data protection and privacy. Even though the GDPR is now more than 7 years old, there remain significant gaps between the law and practice. For example, past research by the project lead showed that less than 10% of mobile apps fulfil the minimum legal requirements regarding *consent* – one of the core principles of GDPR. As the EU is introducing the *AI Act* (i.e. its first law aimed directly at AI), it is likely that again – like with GDPR – enforcement will be lagging and that businesses will be overwhelmed by the legal obligations. In response, **RegTech4AI** will research *regulatory technologies* (RegTech) to assist enforcement agencies and businesses with AI regulation, and thereby bolster trust in AI systems among citizens.
