Just one day before the second phase of the AI Act took effect, the European Commission issued its definitive verdict: the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice is “adequate.” But what does this approval mean for the future of artificial intelligence in Europe?
Our objective is to assess whether this directive involves private entities that have decided to voluntarily and freely make online services available to anyone.
In essence, we propose to investigate whether the NIS 2 directive also applies to private individuals (natural persons, legal entities, associations, foundations) who, from the servers they administer, publicly expose services (or specific services) on the Internet free of charge, thus making them available to anyone with interest.
Excluded from this survey are entities that qualify as businesses in their configurations (small, medium, and large), so any other entity that carries out the activities identified in the NIS 2 directive for profit.
