The EU AI Act is the European Union’s flagship artificial intelligence regulation. This regulation impacts organizations developing or using AI, both inside and outside the EU.
The EU AI Act adopts a risk-based approach, establishing requirements and expectations for specific uses of AI to protect privacy rights and promote the EU as a leader in AI development and governance. The EU AI Act affects organizations that develop, distribute, and deploy AI systems within the EU market.
This includes:
• Providers: Those who develop or have an AI system or model developed and place it on the EU market.
• Deployers: Users of AI systems.
• Importers: Those who place an AI system on the EU market.
• Distributors: Anyone who makes an AI system available on the EU market (that is not a provider or an importer).
