Abstract:The proposal of the European Commission for the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) classifies AI systems intended to be used in the management and operation of critical infrastructures as high-risk. It means that stakeholders engaged in the energy industry should be ready to interact with this new situation, dictated by the AIA. To investigate the compliance readiness of the AI providers in the Dutch energy system with AIA, this research utilizes compliance theory to investigate "How the providers of the AI algorithm in the energy sector in the Netherlands will comply with the EU proposal for the artificial intelligence act (AIA)". It is found from eight interviews with various providers that all the participants have the social, normative, and economic motivations to comply with the AIA. However, in terms of capacity, the small providers thought they would face some challenges in the short term. Moreover, the high respect for the EU by this target group may also lead to more trust, which in turn can help compliance. Consequently, the results show that even without enforced compliance measures, such as penalties, energy-related AI providers will comply with the AIA to enjoy its economic benefits in the long run.
