AI ACT
A Practical Guide for Business

The EU’s pioneering AI Act —Regulation (EU) 2024/1689— published today, July 12th, in the Official Journal of the European Union, is crucial for businesses, as it establishes a common risk-based framework and imposes a comprehensive set of obligations on all actors in the AI value chain, from providers to deployers. It also introduces substantial penalties for non-compliance. Consequently, organizations must identify and mitigate the risks associated with their AI models through specific measures.

The guide provides an overview of the AI Act, clarifies its scope, and provides practical advice for navigating its complexities. In addition to outlining practical steps for compliance, it also highlights how to leverage the opportunities presented by this innovative piece of legislation.
