Eight public bodies have been designated as competent authorities to implement and enforce the new EU AI Act within their sectors, following the Ireland government’s approval of a “distributed model of implementation.” The eight bodies are the Central Bank of Ireland, the Commission for Communications Regulation, the Commission for Railway Regulation, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, the Data Protection Commission, the Health and Safety Authority, the Health Products Regulatory Authority and the Marine Survey Office of the Department of Transport. Additional authorities, and a lead regulator who will coordinate enforcement of the Act and provide a number of centralised functions, will be designated in the future.
