The European Union AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation, is poised to reshape the legal landscape for businesses developing or using AI systems. At Rob Melton Law, we provide legal counsel to help businesses navigate these new regulatory waters .
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is a legislative framework aimed at ensuring the safe and responsible development and use of AI technologies across the European Union. It categorizes AI systems into different levels of risk—ranging from minimal risk to unacceptable risk—and imposes specific obligations on developers, providers, and users of AI systems.
Key provisions include:
- Risk-Based Classification: AI systems are classified as minimal, limited, high-risk, or prohibited based on their impact on safety and fundamental rights.
- Compliance Requirements for High-Risk Systems: High-risk AI systems must meet strict standards for data quality, transparency, human oversight, and cybersecurity.
- Prohibited Practices: Certain uses of AI, such as subliminal manipulation or certain social scoring, are outright banned.
- Transparency Obligations: Providers of AI systems must disclose information about the operation of their systems, especially in cases involving interactions with humans.
Who Does the EU AI Act Affect?
The Act has a broad reach, applying to:
- Developers and providers of AI systems operating in the EU.
- Businesses outside the EU that deploy AI systems affecting individuals within the Union.
- Companies integrating AI systems into their operations or products.
