European Union Artificial Intelligence (EU AI Act) Guide

The rapid advancement of AI technology is transforming industries and daily life, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency. However, this rapid growth also brings significant challenges, including ethical concerns, safety risks and privacy issues prompting the need for robust regulatory frameworks.

In response, the European Union has introduced the AI Act, a regulatory framework designed to oversee the development, deployment and use of AI across Europe, setting a global standard with its proactive approach to ethical and responsible AI development.

To help you navigate the complexities of the AI Act, our experts have created an AI Act guide. This guide summarises key aspects of the new Regulation, highlighting the most important actions organisations should take to ensure compliance and provides navigational signposts to relevant regulatory sources to enhance your understanding and adherence to the AI Act.

Our AI Act guide explores the following topics:

Overview of the Act, key concepts, and effective dates
Territorial and material scope of the Act
Requirements of the Act for various types of AI, including prohibited practices, high-risk systems, general-purpose AI, and AI that demands greater transparency
Arrangements for testing AI in regulatory sandboxes
