Hi Rob,
The EU AI Act (Regulation EU 2024/1689) is Europe's first comprehensive AI legislation—and organisations worldwide need to understand its implications.
With penalties reaching up to 7% of global annual turnover or €35 million, the Act introduces a risk-based framework that demands careful attention to how humans interact with AI systems.
Three Key Insights:
- Risk-Based Regulation with Severe Penalties
AI systems are classified into four risk categories, with compliance requirements scaled accordingly.
- Human Oversight Is Mandatory
Article 14 requires high-risk AI systems to enable human interpretation, intervention and override capabilities—making human competency a regulatory requirement.
- Human Risk Management Is a Critical Enabler
Meeting the Act's obligations around human oversight and accountability requires a workforce that understands AI risks and knows how to respond appropriately.
Compliance with the EU AI Act isn't just about technology—it's about people. Our latest report explores the Act's structure, identifies which organisations will be affected, and examines practical approaches to meeting these requirements.
