Abstract
The evolution of technology often precedes legal change, prompting revision of legal standards and approaches. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at
the forefront of this dynamic, reshaping relations and creating, inter alia, new
challenges for private law in theory and practice. AI can no longer be treated as
a novelty that justifies postponing regulation. Given the pioneering yet evolving
role of the EU AI Act, it should be monitored and gradually incorporated into
domestic legal frameworks. This paper examines the alignment of domestic
private law with the EU AI Act, using North Macedonia, an EU candidate country
and a small jurisdiction, as a case study and analysing the implications of the
Act’s risk-based framework across key areas of private law. The findings aim
to support policymakers in strengthening legal certainty and fundamental
rights protection amid rapid technological change.
