Experts must have a PhD or equivalent experience and must remain independent of any AI provider. The selection process will ensure gender balance and geographical balance. The panel will include experts from the Member States of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). While citizenship of an EU Member State is not a requirement for application, at least 80% of the selected experts must come from EU or EFTA Member States.
