1. EU AI Act AI Systems and Models Taxonomy
The most precise and intuitive visual taxonomy so far. V.1.0 got the most views throughout the year, but I have updated it recently, so the link above is to the updated version.
2. Lexis+ AI Tool Hallucinates as One Could Predict
Issues with this AI tool have just demonstrated once again that generative AI tools are untrustworthy by design, even if you are training the model on the best quality proprietary training datasets. LLM's by-design bug/feature is output unpredictability. So unless you come up with smart fail-safes to contain the harm (and everyone is struggling so far), the only way LLM-based systems (including RAG) can be responsibly deployed for high-stakes scenarios - like the practice of law - are not as consumer self-service tools, but only as productivity aids to human professionals that are double-checking all outputs and are actively fighting automation bias.
3. Debunking the AI Act Pyramid of Risk
This relates to the Commission's infamous infographic which aimed to convey that the lower the risk, the lower the chances of your AI system being strictly regulated. However, when interpreted literally, as many predictably did, it misleads people into erroneously thinking "high-risk" and "transparency-requiring" categories do not overlap. This fallacy has since been reproduced too many times by prominent people who possess little knowledge about the actual content of the EU AI Act, but claim thought leadership based on prior achievements in the adjacent (but an entirely different) field of law, such as data protect.
4. Star Wars EU AI Act EEA meme
Some useful context about the EU regulations "with EEA relevance", such as the GDPR and AI Act, and what this means in practice.

5. My graduation from the University of Strasbourg
The diploma I have obtained is in French Language Studies.
This is my most valuable and hard-earned achievement in 2022-2024: I have managed to progress in French from zero to C1 in just four semesters (two years).
And my most underappreciated announcement of the year:
End-of-year 25% off my EU AI Act course
Somehow, I am good at creating engaging and useful content and teaching courses. My October course received only positive reviews: people really appreciate the level of insight and utility of the course. But I am obviously bad at sales: many prefer to pay the full price, signing up right before the start date. You might say: but isn't this even better for you? No, it is not. Why?
I am self-employed. This has many perks over a corporate job, but the downside is you don't really know how much will you earn at the end of the month until you earn it. So I am happy to offer you a deal: lower price for you in exchange for more financial predictability for me.
So if you were thinking about improving your EU AI Act knowledge anyway, today is the best time to sign-up: at a lower price, and with a great New Year commitment to yourself: to upskill in what matters, in a smart way, and with a properly informed and experienced instructor who has been in AI regulation and policy since 2015.
