Artificial Intelligence & the EU AI Act

The EU AI Act entered into force in 2024 and is being phased into full application. It covers not only AI system providers but also deployers and users. Violations can result in fines of up to EUR 35 million or 7% of global turnover.
The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence adopted at European level. Its impact extends far beyond AI developers, affecting organisations deploying AI systems across products, services and operational processes .I have tracked the AI Act through every stage of the legislative process — from the European Commission’s original proposal to the final text — and continue to follow its implementing acts and guidelines as they are published.
Businesses operating in Europe increasingly need governance frameworks that align legal, technical and operational requirements while maintaining scalability and innovation.
