Summary
The EU AI Act is the European Union's comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, establishing harmonised rules across member states. It introduces a risk-based classification system for AI systems, imposing stricter requirements on high-risk applications and outright bans on certain unacceptable-risk uses. It represents the world's first major binding AI governance legislation.
Key Points
- •Establishes a tiered risk classification: unacceptable risk (banned), high risk (strict requirements), limited risk (transparency obligations), and minimal risk (voluntary codes).
- •Prohibits AI applications deemed threats to fundamental rights, including social scoring, real-time biometric surveillance in public, and subliminal manipulation.
- •Imposes conformity assessments, transparency, data governance, and human oversight requirements on high-risk AI systems in sectors like healthcare, education, and law enforcement.
- •Introduces specific rules for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, including systemic risk assessments for frontier models above compute thresholds.
- •Establishes the European AI Office and national authorities as enforcement bodies, with significant fines for non-compliance (up to €35M or 7% of global turnover).
