What EU AI Act - AI Regulatory Sandboxes for Innovative AI Development (Articles 57-60) requires
EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) Articles 57-60 establish the AI regulatory sandbox framework - a controlled environment enabling providers and prospective providers to develop, train, test, and validate innovative AI systems under regulatory supervision before market placement; sandboxes are established and operated by national competent authorities and must be available in at least one Member State; Article 57(1) - Member States shall ensure that national competent authorities establish at least one AI regulatory sandbox within 24 months of the EU AI Act's entry into force (by 2 August 2026); Article 57(3) - national competent authorities must give priority access to SMEs and startups when determining sandbox participation; Article 58 - conditions for sandbox participation: participants must submit an application demonstrating innovative AI system characteristics; genuine regulatory supervision is required during sandbox operations; sandbox participation may not exceed 24 months extendable by a further 12 months in duly justified cases; During the sandbox period, participants operate under national competent authority supervision and guidance; the EU AI Act provides that violations committed in good faith in compliance with national competent authority sandbox guidance attract limited sanctions, providing a protected environment for regulatory learning; Article 60 - processing of personal data in sandboxes may be permitted where necessary to develop innovative AI systems in the public interest, subject to specific safeguards including: specific data protection measures; defined data retention limits; no access by third parties; no use of data for other purposes; applicable from 2 August 2026 (24 months after entry into force); sandbox frameworks provide a critical pathway for AI innovators to engage with regulators before full deployment requirements apply.
