The European AI Act
The European regulation governs AI by risk level: bans for some uses, stronger obligations for high-risk systems, transparency for generative AI. Its rollout is staged over time.

What it changes for businesses
Documenting uses, assessing risks, ensuring transparency and human oversight: compliance becomes a project in its own right, especially for sensitive deployments.
