Abstract - Engaged AI Governance: Addressing the Last Mile Challenge Through Internal Expert Collaboration
Under the EU AI Act, translating AI governance requirements into software development practice remains challenging. While AI governance frameworks exist at industry and organizational levels, empirical evidence of team-level implementation is scarce. We address this "Last Mile" Challenge through insider action research embedded within an AI startup. We present a legal-text-to-action pipeline that translates EU AI Act requirements into actionable strategies through internal expert collaboration by extracting requirements from legal text, engaging practitioners in assessment and ideation, and prioritizing implementation through collective evaluation. Our analysis reveals three patterns in how practitioners perceive regulatory requirements: convergence (compliance aligns with development priorities), existing practice (current work already satisfies requirements), and disconnection (requirements perceived as administrative overhead). Based on these patterns, we discuss when governance might be treated genuinely or performatively. Practitioners prioritize requirements that serve end-users or their own development needs, but view verification-oriented requirements as box-ticking exercises. This distinction suggests a translation challenge: regulatory requirements risk superficial treatment unless practitioners understand how compliance serves system quality and user protection. Expert collaboration offers a practical mechanism for transforming governance from external imposition to shared ownership and making previously invisible governance work visible and collective.

Engaged AI Governance: Addressing the Last Mile Challenge Through Internal Expert Collaboration
1️⃣ 一句话总结
本文针对欧盟AI法案落地难(即“最后一公里”挑战),通过在一家AI初创公司开展内部行动研究,提出了一套将法律文本转化为具体行动的方法,并发现从业人员对合规要求存在三种态度(认可、已满足、抵触),只有让专家共同参与治理过程,才能将外部法规变为内部自觉,避免流于表面应付。
