EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is the European Union's regulatory framework for artificial intelligence.

The regulation uses a risk-based approach, applying different obligations depending on how an AI system is used and the level of risk it may create.

Certain AI practices are prohibited, while high-risk AI systems are subject to requirements involving areas such as risk management, documentation, transparency, data governance, human oversight, and monitoring.

The regulation also includes obligations affecting general-purpose AI models and other participants across the AI supply chain.

Organizations operating in or serving the European market may need to understand which AI systems fall within the regulation and what responsibilities apply to their role.
