What to expect as the EU’s AI Act comes into force?
The EU AI Act enters into force on Thursday and will apply to any artificial intelligence (AI) systems already in place or in development.
The act is widely considered to be the first legislation in the world that attempts to regulate AI based on the risks it poses.
Lawmakers passed the legislation in March, but its publication in the European Commission’s official journal in July set the wheels in motion for its coming into force.
The August 1 date sets off a series of dates and timelines over the months and years ahead to prepare companies that use AI in any capacity to get familiar with the new legislation and comply.
