The Scientific Panel brings together 60 world-leading independent experts with experience in frontier AI, engineering, technical auditing, industry and societal impact. It will focus on general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and systems, systemic risks, model classification, evaluation methodologies and cross-border market surveillance.
The Advisory Forum will provide independent technical expertise and advice on a broad range of issues related to the AI Act, including standardisation and implementation challenges. Its members come from academia, civil society and industry, including small and medium-sized enterprises and startups. Their selection also aims to reflect gender and geographical balance, as well as a well-calibrated expertise, including specialists in AI literacy, GPAI and different sectors covered by the AI Act.
Key European Union agencies will have a permanent role in the forum, including the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights and the EU Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA, as well as standardisation bodies.
