In April 2021, the EU Parliament published a proposal, the AI Act (AIA), for regulating the use of AI systems and services in the Union market. However, the effects of EU digital regulations usually transcend its confines. An example of what has been named the "Brussel effect" - the high impact of EU digital regulations around the world - is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect in May 2018 and rapidly became a world standard. The AIA seems to go in the same direction, having a clear extraterritorial scope, in that it applies to any AI system or service that has an impact on European Citizens, regardless of where its provider or user is located. The AIA adopts a risk-based approach that bans certain technologies, proposes strict regulations for "high risk" ones, and imposes stringent transparency criteria for others. If adopted, the AIA will undoubtedly have a significant impact in the EU and beyond. A crucial question is whether we already have the technology to comply with the proposed regulation and to what extent can the requirements of this regulation be enforceable.
This workshop aims at analyzing how this new regulation will shape the AI technologies of the future, collecting together input and discussions from multidisciplinar stakeholders.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers can be research papers and position papers. Research papers present completed and validated research, whereas position papers present an arguable opinion about one of the workshop topics of interest. Both types of contribution can be of regular (12–15+ pages)
- Short Papers (both research and position) have shorten length (6-8+ pages) and should be original, previously unpublished work.
- Extended Abstracts present a very early stage of research or previously published work. This latter type of contributions will not be published in the proceedings.
Review format
All submitted papers will be peer reviewed using double-blind peer review by at least three reviewers. We accept both LaTeX and Word files formatted according to these guidelines. You can find both templates at this link
Anonymization

Authors should also remove any information in the acknowledgements section that reveals authors or the institution. Finally, authors are required to cite their own work in the third person. Note: Papers that violate the anonymization policy will be desk rejected.
Online submission
Electronic submissions will be handled via Easychair.
Authors who submit their work to IAIL2022 commit themselves to present their paper at the workshop in case of acceptance. IAIL2022 considers the author list submitted with the paper as final. No additions or deletions to this list may be made after paper submission, either during the review period, or in case of acceptance, at the final camera ready stage.
