The EU AI Act was published in July 2024. The new law regulating AI can be summarized in four points:

• The AI Act classifies AI according to its risk
  • AI systems with unacceptable risks are prohibited
  • AI systems with high risk are heavily regulated
  • AI systems with limited risk must disclose to end users that they are interacting with AI (e.g. chatbots)
  • Low-risk AI systems are unregulated
• Providers/developers of high-risk AI systems are subject to the most obligations
  • Providers of high-risk AI systems that are used in the EU
• Users are natural or legal persons who use an AI system professionally
  • In the case of high-risk AI systems, users also have an obligation
  • Scope of application for users in the EU
• General purpose AI (GPAI)
  • Provision of technical documentation and instructions for use, compliance with copyright law
  • AI systems with systemic risk must perform model assessments and take cybersecurity protection measures
