""With this law, we are implementing European requirements in a maximally innovation-friendly way and creating lean AI supervision with a clear focus on the needs of the economy," Federal Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger said in a statement."
""The supervisory map has changed shape. It is no longer sensible to think in terms of a single regulator relationship for AI," said Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research."
""Germany has chosen to anchor coordination inside the Federal Network Agency. That gives the system a centre of gravity. But it has not centralised enforcement power in one place.""
The Federal Cabinet approved a draft KI‑MIG law to implement the EU AI Act and designate the Federal Network Agency as Germany's central AI supervisory coordinator. The draft assigns the Bundesnetzagentur roles as coordinator, market surveillance authority, and notifying body while oversight and enforcement responsibilities remain distributed across established regulators such as the Federal Cartel Office, BaFin, and federal and state data protection authorities. The law warns enterprises to develop internal classification, routing, and vendor‑governance systems as EU high‑risk AI obligations approach. The draft will proceed to the Bundestag and Bundesrat for parliamentary approval.
