AI in companies
EU AI Act
The European Union's AI Act is a challenge for many companies. We have compiled the most important information.
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive law regulating artificial intelligence. It classifies AI systems into four risk categories:
Unacceptable Risk
These AI systems will be banned. They include applications that manipulate or surveil people—such as social scoring or covert influence.High Risk
AI used in sensitive areas like healthcare, law, or education falls into this category. These systems must meet strict requirements for safety, data quality, transparency, and human oversight.Limited Risk
This includes tools like chatbots, voice assistants, and generative AI like ChatGPT. Users must be clearly informed that they are interacting with AI, and AI-generated content must be labeled accordingly.Minimal Risk
All other AI systems—like spam filters or AI in video games—fall into this group. These are subject to very few restrictions.
The goal of the EU AI Act is to foster innovation while protecting people’s fundamental rights.
It came into effect in August 2024 and must be fully implemented by August 2026.
