MARLA: A Conceptual Scaffold for Regulatory Learning under the EU AI Act

The paper introduces MARLA, a conceptual scaffold for regulatory learning under the EU AI Act, outlining a five‑stage cycle—Map, Assess, Report, Learn, Adapt—focused on implementing legal requirements into socio‑technical practices across local, national, and European levels. It emphasizes that regulatory learning must translate evidence from implementation into governance and legal knowledge to support consistent interpretation, effective oversight, and adaptation as technologies evolve. The scaffold is deliberately non‑prescriptive, offering a shared vocabulary for technical and legal stakeholders, and is illustrated through two pilot case studies and a prospective national‑to‑European illustration.

Position: AI Governance Needs ISO-like Interoperability Protocols, Not Just Laws

The paper argues that AI governance should rely on ISO-like interoperability protocols rather than solely on jurisdiction-specific laws. It proposes standardized AI nutrition labels that include metrics for bias, energy usage, and data provenance to enable machine‑readable risk communication across borders. These protocols aim to reduce regulatory fragmentation, lower barriers for SMEs, and build public trust while allowing modular evolution with technology.

From Legal Text to AI-specific Risk Sources: A Systematic Analysis of the EU AI Act's High-Risk Requirements

The paper systematically classifies the EU AI Act’s high‑risk requirements, finding that only a minority directly address AI‑specific risk sources while most impose organizational and documentation obligations. From these risk‑related requirements, the authors derive a consolidated list of distinct AI‑specific risk sources, creating an EU AI Act Risk Source List. This list aims to bridge the gap between legal obligations and AI risk‑management practice by providing a structured reference for comparing the Act’s implicit risk coverage with existing AI risk taxonomies.

Operationalising AI Regulatory Sandboxes: Activities, Requirements, and Technical Assessment under the EU AI Act

The paper "Operationalising AI Regulatory Sandboxes: Activities, Requirements, and Technical Assessment under the EU AI Act" outlines a detailed framework for implementing AI Regulatory Sandboxes (AIRS) under the EU AI Act. It maps the sandbox lifecycle into 29 activities, distinguishes between a Core AIRS and an Extended AIRS that includes an AI Technical Sandbox (AITS), and derives 15 infrastructural and governance requirements linked to these activities and provider obligations. The authors also introduce the Sandbox Configurator, an open‑source tool to instantiate AITS environments, aiming to provide structured workflows for regulators, robust evaluation methods for experts, and a transparent compliance pathway for AI providers.
