Deep dives
Impact of the EU AI Act
The EU AI Act represents a significant regulatory step concerning the various applications and implications of artificial intelligence. It categorizes AI systems into different risk tiers, from minimal to high-risk applications, each with respective obligations for regulation and approval. High-risk AI systems will face substantial regulatory requirements, including conformity assessments for providers and users, focusing on transparency and monitoring the downstream use of AI applications. This regulatory framework ensures that entities are aware of their responsibilities in maintaining compliance as the act transitions into full effect, which will take time to implement.
