What is the EU AI Act?
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act is the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for AI. Designed to promote trustworthy, human-centric technology while protecting fundamental rights, the Act regulates how AI systems are built, customised, and deployed.
Crucially, the Act isn't just for global AI developer, and it doesn't only apply to customer-facing tools. It impacts any organisation doing business in or targeting the EU that uses AI internally or externally. From automated hiring tools and internal workflow agents to customer chatbots and custom API integrations, the AI Act introduces a strict risk-based approach that determines your legal liabilities.
