LLM4CIP Participates in Workshop on the EU AI Act
LLM4CIP proudly participated in the workshop entitled “The EU AI Act and EU-funded Research Projects: Implications, Challenges, and Good Practices”, bringing together legal experts, researchers, and innovation stakeholders to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Europe and its implications for EU-funded research initiatives.
The workshop, held on 7 May 2026 and organised by EUNOMIA LTD, provided a comprehensive overview of the EU AI Act, focusing on its key provisions, compliance requirements, and the practical challenges that research and innovation projects may face when developing and deploying AI-enabled technologies.
The event was structured into two complementary sections. The first session provided a comprehensive overview of the EU AI Act, covering its objectives and key provisions, the classification of AI systems and requirements applicable to high-risk AI applications, regulatory obligations for General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models, and conformity assessment procedures, with particular emphasis on the role of testing in demonstrating compliance.
The second session focused on topics of particular relevance to Horizon Europe and other EU-funded projects. Discussions addressed the AI Act’s research exemption and its relationship with the Horizon Europe ethics framework for AI, best practices for AI governance in research and innovation projects, the interplay between the AI Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), especially in relation to data governance, as well as areas of overlap and alignment between the AI Act and the Cyber Resilience Act.
For the LLM4CIP project, the workshop offered valuable insights into the regulatory considerations surrounding the development and application of Large Language Models (LLMs) within critical infrastructure protection environments. As AI technologies continue to play an increasingly significant role in supporting cybersecurity and resilience of critical infrastructures, understanding the requirements of the AI Act is essential for ensuring trustworthy, transparent, and compliant AI solutions. LLM4CIP remains committed to developing innovative AI-powered solutions that align with European values, regulatory requirements, and best practices, contributing to a secure and trustworthy digital future for critical infrastructures across Europe.
We thank the organisers and speakers for delivering an informative and timely event and look forward to applying the knowledge gained to further strengthen the project’s approach to responsible AI innovation.
