The national regulatory body in each EU member state responsible for monitoring AI systems to ensure they comply with the EU AI Act.
These authorities have the power to request documentation, access logs, and even order the withdrawal of non-compliant AI systems from the market. They are the primary enforcers of the EU AI Act at the national level.
Real world example:
The Irish Data Protection Commission, acting as a market surveillance authority, audits a tech firm's high-risk AI system after a citizen reports a potential bias incident in their mortgage application.
