The evolution of AI is set to profoundly reshape the future. The European
Union, recognizing this impending prominence, has enacted the AI Act,
regulating market access for AI-based systems. A salient feature of the Act is
to guard democratic and humanistic values by focusing regulation on
transparency, explainability, and the human ability to understand and control
AI systems. Hereby, the EU AI Act does not merely specify technological
requirements for AI systems. The EU issues a democratic call for human-centered
AI systems and, in turn, an interdisciplinary research agenda for
human-centered innovation in AI development. Without robust methods to assess
AI systems and their effect on individuals and society, the EU AI Act may lead
to repeating the mistakes of the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU
and to rushed, chaotic, ad-hoc, and ambiguous implementation, causing more
confusion than lending guidance. Moreover, determined research activities in
Human-AI interaction will be pivotal for both regulatory compliance and the
advancement of AI in a manner that is both ethical and effective. Such an
approach will ensure that AI development aligns with human values and needs,
fostering a technology landscape that is innovative, responsible, and an
integral part of our society.

人工智能的发展将深刻改变未来。欧盟已经颁布了《人工智能法案》，该法案以透明度、解释能力和人类理解和控制人工智能系统为重点，旨在保护民主和人道主义价值观，并推动人类中心的创新研究议程。人工智能系统评估方法的缺乏可能导致实施混乱，加重困惑。因此，人类与人工智能的相互作用的研究将对法规合规和人工智能进步至关重要，以确保人工智能的发展与人类价值和需求相一致，促进创新、负责任的技术发展，使其成为我们社会不可或缺的一部分。
