AI Act · EU AI regulation
The AI Act is the European Union's regulation on artificial intelligence. It classifies uses by risk level (unacceptable, high, limited, minimal) and imposes growing obligations: transparency, documentation, human oversight.
Why it matters
Even a small business is concerned as soon as it uses AI on customer data, hiring or scoring. Anticipating avoids legal risk and reassures your own clients. It is also a mark of seriousness against competitors who improvise.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my company concerned by the AI Act?
- Most likely, as soon as you use AI in your processes (support, CV screening, scoring, content generation). The level of obligation depends on the risk of the use. Mapping your uses is the starting point.
- What should you do in practice?
- List your AI uses, classify them by risk, keep human oversight on sensitive decisions, document and disclose when content is AI-generated. It is common sense as much as an obligation.
