Category: EU AI Act
The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) is the world’s first comprehensive AI law, applying risk-based obligations to providers and deployers of AI systems — including UK and other non-EU organisations whose systems or outputs reach the EU market. This section covers the Act as it applies in practice: how risk classification works across the prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk and minimal-risk tiers, what obligations attach to each role in the AI value chain, and how to build the documentation, oversight and monitoring arrangements the Act expects. The articles here are written for compliance, legal and risk professionals who need to move beyond summaries of the legislation to defensible implementation — with particular attention to the questions that arise for UK organisations and SMEs caught by the Act’s extraterritorial reach under Article 2. Key compliance dates are staged: prohibitions and AI literacy duties have applied since 2 February 2025, general-purpose AI obligations since 2 August 2025, and the main high-risk framework applies from 2 August 2026.
