📢 12 lipca w Dzienniku Urzędowym UE opublikowano AI Act. To przełomowe rozporządzenie ustanawia zharmonizowane przepisy dotyczące sztucznej inteligencji, wchodzące w życie już 1 sierpnia 2024 r. 🤖 AI Act to pierwszy na świecie tak wszechstronny akt prawny regulujący rozwój, wprowadzanie do obrotu, oddawanie do użytku i wykorzystywanie systemów sztucznej inteligencji w UE. Jego celem jest zapewnienie, że systemy AI będą bezpieczne i zgodne z zasadami etyki, co zagwarantuje przestrzeganie podstawowych praw człowieka, takich jak prawo do niedyskryminacji oraz ochrony danych osobowych i prywatności. Ponadto celem AI Act ma być wspieranie innowacji i zapewnienie swobodnego przepływu towarów i usług opartych na AI w Unii Europejskiej. 💡 Jako rozporządzenie unijne AI Act będzie stosowany bezpośrednio, co oznacza, że nie wymaga implementacji do prawa krajowego za pomocą odrębnych aktów prawnych. ➡️ AI Act ma zastosowanie do podmiotów, takich jak dostawcy, importerzy, dystrybutorzy i producenci. Wymagania, które muszą zostać spełnione są zróżnicowane i zależą od roli danego podmiotu. Najważniejsze obowiązki spoczywają na dostawcach systemów AI oraz podmiotach stosujących systemy AI, czyli organizacjach wykorzystujących je w swojej działalności. 🔎 Jakie kroki należy podjąć, jeśli korzystasz z systemów AI? 1. Zidentyfikuj systemy AI wykorzystywane lub planowane w swojej organizacji. 2. Określ swoją rolę, np. dostawcy czy podmiotu stosującego system AI. 3. Określ ryzyko związane z każdym systemem AI (szczególnie pod kątem zakazanych systemów AI oraz systemów AI wysokiego ryzyka). 4. Przygotuj się na spełnienie wymogów zgodnie z odpowiednią kategorią ryzyka systemu AI i rolą, w której występujesz (przez ścisłe wymogi dotyczące bezpieczeństwa, nadzoru i zgodności z przepisami, po obowiązek przestrzegania zasad równości i niedyskryminacji czy wymogi dotyczące przejrzystości). 5. Zadbaj o odpowiednie kompetencje personelu w zakresie wykorzystania systemów AI zgodnie z prawem i aktualną wiedzą techniczną. 6. Monitoruj terminy wdrożenia poszczególnych wymagań. 💡 W kolejnych postach będziemy przybliżać AI Act oraz wynikające z niego szczegółowe obowiązki. 💡Wyjaśnimy również, jak bezpiecznie korzystać z narzędzi sztucznej inteligencji już teraz. Zgodność rozwiązań AI z prawem to nie tylko AI Act! 📧 Jeśli masz pytania związane z AI – napisz do nas na adres office@justlaw.pl. Pomagamy podmiotom zarówno oferującym systemy AI, jak i stosującym takie systemy. #_Just_LAW #_Just_LAW_Jastrun_Kowalski #_Just_LAW_AI #AI #AIAct

📢 By 24 September, 2024, companies with at least 50 employees or companies providing, among others, financial services (regardless of the number of employees) must adopt an internal whistleblowing and follow-up procedure that complies with the requirements of the Polish Whistleblower Protection Act. 💡 A whistleblower is a person who reports or publicly discloses information about a violation of the law obtained in a work-related context. In particular, a whistleblower may be an employee or a person performing work on a basis other than employment, including on the basis of a civil law contract. Reported violations of the law may relate in particular to corruption, financial services, products and markets 💶, anti-money laundering and terrorist financing 💰 , consumer protection or privacy and personal data protection 📱 . The catalogue of violations that can be reported by whistleblowers ultimately does not include labour law violations. 💡 In addition, a given legal entity may provide, as part of the internal reporting procedure, provide for the possibility of reporting information on violations of its internal rules or ethical standards that the legal entity has established on the basis of generally applicable laws and continues to comply with. 📍 The internal reporting procedure must be adopted primarily by legal entities for which at least 50 persons perform paid work on 1 January or 1 July  of a given year. The number of 50 persons performing paid work for a legal entity includes full-time employees or persons performing work for remuneration on a basis other than employment, if they do not employ other persons for such work, regardless of the basis of employment. 💡 Regardless of the number of employees, an internal procedure must be established by legal entities that carry out activities in the areas of financial services, products and markets 💵 , combating money laundering and terrorist financing 💰 , transport safety 🚚 and environmental protection 🍀 . 💡 According to the law, private group entities may establish a common procedure for internal reporting provided that the activities carried out are in compliance with the law 📑. 🤔 If you would like to know more about the obligations imposed by the law on the protection of whistleblowers, or if you would like assistance in establishing internal procedures, please do not hesitate to contact us: office@justlaw.pl or Agnieszka Rapcewicz CIPP/E. #whistleblowers #compliance #_Just_LAW #_Just_LAW_Jastrun_Kowalski

📢 On 23 May, the Polish Parliament (Sejm) passed a law on the protection of whistleblowers. It will now go to the Senate (the upper house of Parliament), so there is a chance that before the holidays we will finally see the transposition of the Whistleblower Directive into Polish law. 💡Those who have not yet adopted an internal procedure for reporting and following up on violations of the law should do so without delay. We are talking about companies with at least 50 employees or companies operating in certain sectors, i.e. in the financial services industry, products and markets 💳 , anti-money laundering and terrorist financing 💰 , transport safety 🚚 or environmental protection 🍀 📌 The Polish legislator has not decided to make anonymous reporting mandatory, but legal entities may implement such a solution on a voluntary basis. ⏱ Most of the law’s provisions are expected to come into force within three months of its publication. 🤔 If you need support in implementing a whistleblower protection system in your organisation or have any questions regarding the new law, please feel free to contact us: office@justlaw.pl or Agnieszka Rapcewicz CIPP/E. #whistleblowers #_Just_LAW #_Just_LAW_Jastrun_Kowalski
