AI Service Desk
The legal basis for the AI Service Desk is Section 20c KOG and Section 194a TKG (Federal Law Gazette I No. 6/2024).
The Service Desk for Artificial Intelligence set up at RTR serves as a point of contact and information hub for the general public on the topic of AI. It also supports the implementation of the European AI Act. On these pages you will find information on the regulatory framework for the use of artificial intelligence as well as aspects relating to cybersecurity, data economy and its use in the media sector.
Our range of information is constantly being expanded and, unless otherwise stated, is freely licenced under CC BY 4.0. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time. At the bottom of the page you will find the option to sign up for your own RTR-KI-Newsletter, which will be published in German regularly. You will also find links to our social media presence, where we also share information.
