European Union AI Act
Staying compliant with the new EU AI Act helps you stay competitive.
The AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive law regulating the use of AI in the European Union. Its goal is to guard people against the harmful use and effects of AI systems in the Union and protect their health, safety, and rights as outlined in the Charter, including democracy, the rule of law, and the environment.
The new EU AI Act promotes the growth of trustworthy AI by:
- Establishing EU-wide rules on how AI is implemented and used in the marketplace throughout the EU.
- Prohibiting certain AI practices that pose unacceptable risks like cognitive behavioral manipulation and social scoring
- Implementing specific requirements for high-risk AI systems and obligations for their operators
- Placing rules on market monitoring, market surveillance, governance, and enforcement.
Implications of Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with the EU AI Act can result in a range of legal, financial, and reputational penalties. The primary non-compliance risks include:
- Heavy fines and penalties for prohibited AI practices and violations like failing to meet transparency, documentation, or monitoring obligations.
- Operational disruptions due to the suspension or removal of non-compliant AI systems from the market.
- Reputational damage from violations can result in public backlash and loss of customer, partner, and stakeholder confidence.
- Increased scrutiny and oversight from regulatory bodies result in audits, legal investigations, and additional restrictions on future AI development and deployment.
- Loss of competitive advantage due to noncompliance that can lead to market share loss.
- Liability for harm due to AI systems found to have discriminated, caused privacy breaches, or caused physical damage.
- Limited or restricted access to the EU market due to noncompliance
