Abstract :
The EU AI Act was released in the EU Official Journal on July 12, 2024, and entered into force on August 1, 2024, marking the first extensive horizontal legal framework for the regulation of AI throughout the EU. This regulation addresses significant concerns, particularly focusing on safeguarding fundamental rights. It underscores the EU's commitment to ensuring the safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory, and environmentally friendly use of AI.

Within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), including the 10 member-states in the Southeast Asian region, there have been several home-grown digital platforms that use technology in their main business models. In terms of regulatory development, Southeast Asian states seem to not be concerned about the impact and costs regarding adopting EU measures on digital service regulation. However, in contemplating the necessity of digital regulations, Southeast Asian states are rather apprehensive that implementing a regulatory approach akin to the European Union's could potentially impede innovation and hinder growth in their burgeoning digital industries.

With the AI issue, ASEAN released its much-anticipated governance model for artificial intelligence (AI), the ASEAN Guide to AI Governance and Ethics. States’ regulators and policymakers are still undecided on their approach to regulations.

It is important for regulations to be customized to suit the local economies, taking into consideration the costs of implementation and their potential impact.

This conference discussion will tackle the issue of the AI Impact on customer’s Fundamental Rights, and the prospective Development in ASEAN Inspired by the EU AI Act.
