What Is the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence. It took effect August 1, 2024, and applies to any organization placing AI systems on the EU market or affecting EU residents — regardless of where the company is based.

The regulation uses a risk-based approach: the higher the potential harm, the stricter the requirements. Penalties for violations of prohibited-use provisions reach €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
