N2 - The EU AI Act is one of the most significant pieces of AI legislation in the world. This is accepted, even if reluctantly, by all in AI. Like other product safety legislation, it is written in fairly general terms, using words such as 'unbiased', leaving it to standards to describe what this actually means in detail. Again, this is unfamiliar to many in AI. We will therefore first look at the Act, and the European standardisation process. In particular, we will look at the various actors in this process. Then we will ask what this has to do with Symbolic Computation: it is the general view that 'Artificial Intelligence' as commonly understood, i.e. Machine Learning, has nothing to do with symbolic computation.
