The EU AI Act: A Concrete Compliance Checklist
The EU AI Act establishes a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence systems within the European Union. It categorizes AI systems into four risk tiers, each with specific compliance obligations, particularly for high-risk systems. Companies outside the EU must also comply if their AI outputs are used within the EU market.
- ▪The EU AI Act will be in force starting August 1, 2024, with obligations for high-risk AI systems beginning on August 2, 2026.
- ▪AI systems are classified into four risk tiers: unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risk, each with different compliance requirements.
- ▪High-risk AI systems must meet specific obligations, including risk management, data governance, and transparency to deployers.
