The EU AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence. It sets binding rules for how AI systems may be developed, placed on the market and used across the EU — with significant obligations for providers and deployers, and fines that can reach tens of millions of euros.
The essentials
What the EU AI Act means for you
The Act classifies AI systems by risk. The heaviest obligations fall on high-risk systems — used in areas such as recruitment, credit scoring, biometric identification and critical infrastructure — while transparency duties apply to general-purpose and generative AI, and certain practices are banned outright.
Risk classification
We map each of your AI systems to the correct risk tier and the duties that follow.
Documentation & conformity
Technical documentation, risk management and conformity assessments done properly.
Governance & oversight
Human oversight, logging and post-market monitoring built into your processes.
How we help
From requirement to action
We translate the Act’s requirements into a concrete, prioritised plan — so you stay compliant without slowing product development.
01
Gap analysis
We assess your AI systems and data against the Act and identify what needs to change.
02
Implementation roadmap
A prioritised plan with clear owners, deadlines and documentation templates.
03
Ongoing compliance
Support as deadlines phase in and as your AI systems evolve.
Questions & answers
When does the EU AI Act apply?
It is being phased in. Prohibitions and AI-literacy duties apply first, with high-risk obligations following later. We help you prepare ahead of each deadline.
Does it apply to us if we only use AI tools?
Yes. Deployers of AI systems have their own obligations — not just the developers who build them.
What are the penalties?
Fines scale with the severity of the breach and can reach up to 7% of global annual turnover for prohibited practices.

If you develop, sell or use AI systems connected to the EU market, the AI Act likely applies – either as a provider or a deployer. It can apply even to non-EU companies whose AI output is used in the EU.
Four tiers: unacceptable (banned), high-risk (strict obligations – e.g. recruitment, credit scoring, biometrics), limited risk (transparency duties – e.g. chatbots and generative AI), and minimal risk (few or no specific obligations).
It entered into force in 2024 and applies in phases through 2026–2027. Bans on prohibited uses and AI-literacy duties apply first; high-risk obligations follow.
Risk management, data governance, technical documentation, logging, human oversight, transparency, and a conformity assessment before it is placed on the market.
