In January 2021, the EU announced the AI Act to regulate AI use, setting a legal framework that will come into force to ensure ethical and safe applications.
Objectives of the Act: ​
AI systems include any software that produces outcomes and impacts its surrounding environments based on a set of objectives defined by humans. These systems are developed through various methods, including machine learning, logic- and knowledge-based techniques, or statistical approaches.
The definition of AI in the Act is intentionally designed to be technology-neutral and future-proof, ensuring it remains applicable as advancements occur.
The Act applies to any person or organisation, whether public or private, that develops, deploys, or uses AI systems in the EU. It places a special emphasis on high-risk AI systems, which are subject to the most stringent requirements, including mandatory risk assessments and testing, human oversight, transparency, and data protection.
The Act proposes significant fines of up to 6% of a company’s global turnover or €30 million, whichever is higher, for violations. It also allows for legal action to be taken against companies that do not comply with the regulations.
AI-driven decision-making is revolutionising businesses. AI tools have the capability to analyse vast amounts of data rapidly, enabling informed decisions based on the insights derived from it.
We are here to help you and answer any questions related to the regulations.
