GenAI

This AI Act aims to safeguard Europe, uphold fundamental rights, and closely monitor high-risk AI systems while ensuring business growth.  

Businesses, take note: Europe has unveiled a comprehensive blueprint for safe and reliable artificial intelligence (AI) – the AI Act. This is your moment to pivot toward a future where AI is not only innovative but also trustworthy and aligned with stringent ethical standards.

A fresh era of AI responsibility

We've witnessed major advancements in AI, raising questions about fundamental rights and ethical use. The EU's proactive stance ensures AI respects democracy and environmental sustainability while fostering innovation. This Act spells out clear rules based on an AI system's impact level, putting you at the helm of responsible AI utilization.

Prohibitions and penalties: What's off the table?

Several AI applications are now banned due to their potential to infringe on personal freedoms and disrupt democratic processes. Emotion recognition in workplaces, unrestricted biometric data scraping, and social scoring can no longer lurk in any corner of the EU. For those navigating these waters, the Act brings a clear message: respect for human rights is not optional. Non-compliance with these rules could result in fines as steep as €35 million or up to seven percent of global turnover.

Threshold for high-risk AI

High-risk AI systems carry added responsibilities with mandatory fundamental rights impact assessments, especially pertinent to sectors like banking and insurance. Systems influencing elections or those impacting voters also fall under this category – a clear nod to safeguarding democratic integrity.
