The AI Act sets clear requirements for AI developers and
deployers, aiming to reduce administrative and financial burdens,
particularly for SMEs. Part of a broader policy package, the AI Act
ensures the safety and fundamental rights of individuals and
businesses, while promoting AI innovation and investment across the
EU. The regulation adopts a risk-based approach, categorising AI
systems into four levels of risk, with stringent obligations for
high-risk applications to ensure transparency, accountability, and
human oversight.
Earlier on in the year, our Technology and Innovation Group
created a 5 part video series on the AI Act, led by Rosemarie Blake, collated into this podcast
episode which discusses the AI Act, the timeline of obligations,
general purpose AI, enforcement, GDPR interplay and compliance
obligations for actors in the AI value chain.
