The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is the EU flagship legislation on the use of AI in Europe.
This landmark legislation creates binding rules for AI systems placed on the EU market and will be directly applicable in EU member states.
The AI rulebook was adopted in May 2024 and most provisions will be applicable two years following its entry into force, possibly around mid-2026.
Cullen International released a series of reports on the different aspects of the EU AI Act.
All you need to know about the new AI Act – Part 1: Scope
The AI Act establishes a risk-based approach for the regulation and governance of AI systems in the EU. It follows the logic of “the higher the risk, the stricter the rules”.
General-purpose AI (GPAI) models are also part of the scope of the new regulation. The AI rulebook foresees a tailored and tiered framework for their use in the EU.
The first two reports analysing the AI Act cover the scope of the regulation with a particular focus on high-risk AI systems and GPAI models.
