Understanding EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is the European Union's comprehensive regulation governing artificial intelligence, which entered into force in August 2024 and introduces a risk-based framework that classifies AI systems by their potential for harm. It bans certain unacceptable-risk practices, imposes strict obligations on high-risk systems, and adds transparency rules for general-purpose and generative AI. Non-compliance can trigger substantial fines tied to global annual turnover.
