Price: Free
Description
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence, designed to ensure that AI systems are safe, transparent, non-discriminatory, and environmentally friendly. It adopts a risk-based approach, classifying AI systems into different risk categories (unacceptable, high, limited, minimal) and imposing stricter requirements on higher-risk applications. The Act aims to foster trust in AI while promoting innovation. Unlike a software tool, the EU AI Act is a piece of legislation that will directly impact how AI is developed and used by companies operating or serving customers within the EU, setting a global precedent for AI regulation.
How to Use
1.Familiarize yourself with the core principles and risk classification outlined in the Act's official text.
2.Identify whether your AI systems fall under 'high-risk' categories based on their intended purpose and application areas.
3.Implement compliance measures such as risk management systems, data governance, human oversight, and transparency requirements.
4.Conduct conformity assessments for high-risk AI systems before placing them on the market or putting them into service.
5.Stay updated with guidance from national supervisory authorities and the European Commission regarding implementation timelines and interpretations.
