Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace: The European Union’s AI Act and Saudi Arabia’s Legal Framework

Assistant Professor of Law

Dr. Federico Fusco, Assistant Professor at the College of Law and International Relations, made a striking contribution at the prestigious XXIV World Congress of the International Society for Labour and Social Security Law, held in Rome from September 17-20, 2024. He organized a special session titled "Digitalization and AI at Work," which assembled a distinguished panel of international scholars to explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in reshaping labor markets and employment practices.

In his own presentation, "Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace: The European Union’s AI Act and Saudi Arabia’s Legal Framework", Dr. Fusco highlighted the pioneering strides Saudi Arabia has made in AI regulation, comparing it to the EU's recently enacted AI Act. His insightful analysis of these regulatory frameworks underscored Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in advancing AI regulation, highlighting the Kingdom's influence in shaping global AI policies and driving the broader evolution of technology governance in an increasingly automated world.
