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).

 Use quotation marks to search for an "exact phrase". Append an asterisk ( * ) to a search term to find variations of it (transp * , 32019R * ). Use a question mark ( ? ) instead of a single character in your search term to find variations of it (ca ? e finds case, cane, care).
