The committee mentioned in Article 98 helps the European Commission make decisions about using and enforcing rules in the AI Act, following specific procedures defined in another EU regulation (No 182/2011) to ensure transparency and coordination among EU member states regarding artificial intelligence policies and standards.

The committee referenced in Article 98 operates according to Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, specifically using the procedures laid out in Article 5 of that regulation to ensure clear processes are followed whenever decisions regarding the AI Act need approval or consultation from EU member countries.

Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 is a European Union process that sets rules for committees assisting the European Commission, explaining how those committees must operate, hold meetings, and decide matters that affect many European countries, including decisions involving the AI Act and related AI regulations.

The committee is important because it ensures decisions about artificial intelligence regulations are made transparently and collaboratively among EU countries, helping the Commission enforce rules fairly, maintain consistency across Europe, and address issues efficiently as artificial intelligence technology evolves and new challenges occur.
