The RegulatingAI Podcast welcomes Prof. Raquel Brízida Castro to examine how Europe’s AI regulatory framework measures up against core constitutional protections.

📌 Topics Covered:
~ The EU AI Act’s categorisation of risk – does it go far enough?
~ The collision between data sovereignty, latency, and user rights
~ Why current legal remedies like GDPR aren’t enough for generative AI
~ Does the Brussels effect stand a chance against the Washington effect?
~ Will national courts lose relevance in the age of EU digital regulation?
~ Raquel’s legal insight warns of a quiet constitutional revolution underway and why citizen protection must evolve urgently.

🎧 Watch Now: This conversation is vital for anyone navigating AI governance in democratic societies.
