RegTech4AI

Bringing AI Law into Practice

An NGF-funded research initiative making EU AI regulation work in practice through regulatory technology. We develop technical methods to implement GDPR and the AI Act, bridging the gap between legal requirements and real-world applications.

Research Focus

GDPR & AI Act Implementation

Developing practical tools and frameworks to help organizations comply with European data protection and AI regulations through automated technical solutions.

Interdisciplinary Approach

Combining expertise from law, computer science, HCI, and NLP to create RegTech solutions that work at the intersection of technology and legal compliance.

Open Research & Tools

Publishing our findings openly and building accessible tools that help the broader community understand and implement AI regulation effectively.

The Humans

Our team brings together researchers from computer science, law, HCI, and NLP at Maastricht University.
