What is the EU AI Act?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The AI Act<\/a> is a European regulation on artificial intelligence (AI) \u2013 the first comprehensive regulation on AI by a major regulator anywhere. The Act assigns applications of AI to three risk categories. First, applications and systems that create an unacceptable risk<\/strong>, such as government-run social scoring of the type used in China, are banned. Second, high-risk applications<\/strong>, such as a CV-scanning tool that ranks job applicants, are subject to specific legal requirements. Lastly, applications not explicitly banned or listed as high-risk are largely left unregulated.<\/p>\n

Why should you care?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

AI applications influence what information you see online by predicting what content is engaging to you, capture and analyse data from faces<\/a> to enforce laws or personalise advertisements,\u00a0and are used to diagnose and treat cancer. In other words, AI affects many parts of your life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, the EU AI Act could become a global standard<\/strong>, determining to what extent AI has a positive rather than negative effect on your life wherever you may be. The EU\u2019s AI regulation is already making waves internationally \u2013 in late September 2021, Brazil\u2019s Congress passed a bill<\/a> that creates a legal framework for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

We have developed an AI Act Compliance Checker<\/a> to help SMEs and startups better understand whether they might have any legal obligations under the EU AI Act or whether they may implement the Act solely to make their business stand out as more trustworthy. This tool can help give an indication about what obligations your system might face.<\/p>\n

Please note that our tool is a simplification. It is still a work in progress.<\/em><\/p>\n
