EU AI Act Takes Effect: What Enterprises Need to Do Now

The EU AI Act, the world's first comprehensive AI regulation, has entered its enforcement phase for high-risk AI systems. Organizations using AI in employment decisions, credit scoring, medical devices, critical infrastructure, and education must now comply with documentation, transparency, human oversight, and accuracy requirements. Penalties reach €30M or 6% of global annual turnover—whichever is higher. Legal experts estimate 40% of enterprise AI deployments require modifications for compliance. Key deadlines: high-risk systems must be registered in EU database by Q4 2025.
