Are you an SME considering the adoption of artificial intelligence? Here you can find all the information about the EU AI Act, opportunities, and support.
EU AI Act – what do I need to know?
What is the EU AI Act?
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — the AI Act — was adopted on 13 June 2024 and entered into force on 1 August 2024. It is the first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence in the world, applying to all companies developing or using AI systems in the EU market.
Key objectives:
- Ensure AI systems are safe and trustworthy
- Protect fundamental rights of individuals
- Encourage innovation, especially for SMEs
- Establish harmonised rules across the EU
What does the law determine?
The law introduces a risk-based approach — higher risk means stricter requirements.
| Risk category | Regulation level | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Prohibited systems | Complete ban | Social scoring, manipulative systems, emotion recognition in workplaces and schools |
| High-risk systems | Strict requirements: documentation, oversight, testing | HR tools, credit scoring, education systems, critical infrastructure |
| Limited risk | Transparency requirements | Chatbots (mandatory disclosure), deepfake content |
| Minimal risk | No specific requirements | Spam filters, AI in games |
Does my AI system fall under high risk?
Interactive questionnaire (in preparation — coming soon)
Answer a few questions to check which category your solution belongs to.
What do you need to do?
If your company develops or uses AI systems, we recommend the following steps:
- 1
Check the risk category
Determine whether your system falls under prohibited, high-risk, or lower-risk categories.
- 2
Ensure compliance
High-risk systems require proper documentation and procedures.
- 3
Document the system
Keep records of the purpose, data, and operation of the AI system.
- 4
Ensure human oversight
High-risk systems must be under appropriate human supervision.
- 5
Be transparent
Inform users when they are communicating with an AI system.
