LVS ISO/IEC 42001, LVS ISO/IEC 42006 and LVS EN 18286 form the basis for auditable AI implementation — and why a standard alone does not deploy an AI system.
High-risk AI system deployment deadlines extended, AI literacy and sandbox requirements clarified, EU AI Office powers strengthened. The AI Act's core principles remain unchanged.
Five candidate applications received in the tender's qualification round, from Latvian, Polish and international consortia — a significant signal for the development of Latvia's PPP market.

A regulatory sandbox is, in essence, a structured partnership between the private and public sectors. It is the classic PPP model in a digital environment.
PPPA expands its activities to include digital transformation and artificial intelligence — the partnership model is just as relevant to digital technology deployment as to infrastructure projects.
