 ABSTRACT

When lawyers talk about artificial intelligence, they usually talk about algorithms, data, and risk. Much less is said about the machines and physical infrastructure that make artificial intelligence possible. AI ultimately depends on chips and computing infrastructure; it is digitally constituted but materially grounded. This paper argues that this physical side should be understood as part of AI governance. To make this case, the paper reads the EU Artificial Intelligence Act together with three instruments rarely discussed alongside it: the Chips Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, and the NIS2 Directive. In fact, the AI Act itself already looks beyond the algorithm. It defines AI systems in terms of outputs that can influence physical as well as virtual environments. It also uses the amount of computation employed in training a general-purpose AI model as a criterion for identifying models with systemic risk. The Chips Act, for its part, addresses the semiconductor capacity on which such computing depends. The Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2 help secure the products and networks on which AI systems rely. Read together, these laws show that the EU has already begun to regulate AI as both software and infrastructure, though piece by piece and across separate instruments. Recognizing this connection helps explain where EU technology law is heading: towards a closer link between regulating AI, securing what it runs on, and building Europe’s industrial capacity.
