The world's first comprehensive AI regulation, establishing a risk-based framework for the development and use of artificial intelligence in the European Union.
The AI Act applies to any organization that develops, deploys, or uses AI systems affecting EU citizens.
Extra-territorial reach: The AI Act applies to AI providers outside the EU if their AI systems are used in the EU or if outputs are used by EU citizens.
The AI Act uses a risk-based approach with four categories of AI systems
AI systems that pose a threat to fundamental rights are banned entirely.
AI systems that may impact safety or fundamental rights face strict regulations.
AI systems that interact with humans must clearly disclose their AI nature.
Most AI applications fall here with minimal or no regulatory requirements.
High-risk AI systems must meet stringent requirements throughout their lifecycle.
Establish and maintain a risk management system throughout AI lifecycle
Use high-quality training datasets with proper documentation
Maintain detailed technical documentation before market placement
Automatic logging of events for traceability and audit
Clear information for deployers about system capabilities and limits
Enable effective human oversight and intervention capabilities
The AI Act establishes significant fines based on the type of violation
Using banned AI systems or violating data quality requirements
Failing to meet high-risk AI obligations
Providing incorrect information to authorities
Identify and assess AI systems in your technology stack for compliance readiness.
Prepare your organization for the world's first comprehensive AI regulation.
