- The EU AI act : a catalyst or further challenge for SMEs in achieving ethical AIPublication . Tabuena, Vincent Raphael; Fioravante, RosaThe EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) introduces a groundbreaking legal framework that aims to establish a balance between encouraging innovation and upholding ethical standards in the development of AI. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly affected and face unique challenges at the intersection of ethical compliance and operational profitability. This study uses qualitative insights from industry experts to examine how SMEs are adapting their practices to meet the requirements of the AIA while taking ethical imperatives into account. The findings show that while the AIA is raising awareness and providing a foundation for ethical AI development, SMEs face significant obstacles such as unclear regulatory guidelines, high regulatory burdens, and resource constraints. These challenges often prevent the seamless integration of ethical principles into AI operations. The study argues for legislative refinements, including clearer guidelines, financial support, and support structures tailored to SMEs. It also highlights the need for a paradigm shift within SMEs to embed ethical considerations in their core strategies. This thesis adds to the ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulations by giving useful suggestions for balancing moral goals with real-world operations. The study highlights the potential for the AIA to serve as a catalyst for ethical AI innovation, but only if the challenges faced by European SMEs in their efforts to comply with ethical standards are sufficiently mitigated.
