Source: Bundesnetzagentur

Germany’s KI-MIG entered into force, making the Bundesnetzagentur the market surveillance authority, contact point and complaints office for the EU AI Act, with a coordination centre for other regulators, a regulatory sandbox for SMEs and an AI Service Desk. Sector supervisors such as BaFin keep their areas, and the Länder can use the Bundesnetzagentur for their own supervision.

Why it matters

AI providers and deployers in Germany now have a central federal market-surveillance authority and contact point, alongside sector regulators such as BaFin that keep their own areas.
