The advent of Generative AI, particularly through Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and its successors, marks a paradigm shift in the AI landscape. Advanced LLMs exhibit multimodality, handling diverse data formats, thereby broadening their application scope. However, the complexity and emergent autonomy of these models introduce challenges in predictability and legal compliance. This paper delves into the legal and regulatory implications of Generative AI and LLMs in the European Union context, analyzing aspects of liability, privacy, intellectual property, and cybersecurity. It critically examines the adequacy of the existing and proposed EU legislation, including the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) draft, in addressing the unique challenges posed by Generative AI in general and LLMs in particular. The paper identifies potential gaps and shortcomings in the legislative framework and proposes recommendations to ensure the safe and compliant deployment of generative models, ensuring they align with the EU's evolving digital landscape and legal standards.

翻译：生成式人工智能的出现，尤其是以ChatGPT及其后继者为代表的大型语言模型（LLM），标志着人工智能领域的一次范式转变。先进的LLM展现出多模态能力，可处理多样化的数据格式，从而拓宽了其应用范围。然而，这些模型的复杂性和涌现自主性给可预测性与法律合规带来了挑战。本文深入探讨了欧盟背景下生成式人工智能和LLM的法律与监管影响，分析了责任、隐私、知识产权和网络安全等方面的内容。本文批判性地审视了现有及拟议中的欧盟立法（包括《人工智能法案》草案）在应对生成式人工智能（尤其是LLM）所提出的独特挑战方面的充分性。本文识别了立法框架中的潜在空白与不足，并提出了确保生成模型安全合规部署的建议，使其与欧盟不断发展的数字环境和法律标准保持一致。
