The essentials in 30 seconds

What it is

The world's first AI framework

Adopted in 2024, the AI Act governs the placing on the market and use of AI systems in the EU. Like the GDPR before it, it is setting the global benchmark.

The logic

A risk-based approach

The greater the risk a use case poses to health, safety or fundamental rights, the stronger the obligations - up to an outright ban.

The stakes

Up to 7% of worldwide turnover

Penalties reach €35M or 7% of worldwide annual turnover. Compliance is also a trust argument with your customers.

Who is affected

Far beyond the tech giants

Any organisation that develops, buys or uses AI in the EU: most companies are at the very least deployers, with obligations of their own.

The risk pyramid

Four levels, four legal regimes. Classifying each AI system is the first step of any compliance effort.

The timeline to remember

  • Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 enters into force.
  • Prohibited practices (Art. 5) and the AI literacy obligation (Art. 4) apply.
  • Obligations for general-purpose AI models (GPAI), governance (AI Office, AI Board) and the penalty regime.
  • Transparency (Art. 50) and regulatory sandboxes. The "general application" of high risk, initially planned for this date, was postponed by the digital omnibus (June 2026).
  • Compliance of GPAI models placed on the market before August 2025.
  • Annex III high-risk systems (post-omnibus deadline).
  • High-risk systems embedded in regulated products (Annex I, post-omnibus deadline).
Trap

"The postponement to December 2027 gives us time" is a false sense of security: prohibited practices and the AI literacy obligation have applied since February 2025, transparency arrives in August 2026, and bringing a high-risk system into compliance often takes 12 to 18 months.

Frequently asked questions
