Executive Summary
The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act took effect on August 1, 2024, with firms facing enforcement around most requirements from August 1, 2026. The regulation transcends borders, applying to systems used in the EU, regardless of whether the providers, deployers, importers or distributors are based in the region themselves. With AI having rapidly permeated business activities and tasks, firms must now consider the implications of the EU AI Act and understand how to remain compliant. In this report, we provide risk and compliance executives with an overview of the Act and offer guidance on how to manage these new compliance risks.
