On 13 March 2024, the EU Parliament adopted the so-called AI Act with a large majority. With 523 votes, the majority of members of the European Parliament voted in favour of the draft, which had been debated the day before. This was preceded by controversial trilogue meetings in which a compromise was reached in December. The EU claims a pioneer role in setting a global standard in the regulation of artificial intelligence.

In this context, we were able to obtain the first decision on this issue before the Labour Court Hamburg (decision dated 16 January 2024 - 24 BVGa 1/24).
