Two years after its adoption on 01 August 2024, the European Union (EU) Artificial Intelligence Act is nearing full application, with key provisions taking effect in August 2026.

Future-proof AI regulation framework

The AI Act was designed for precisely this kind of technological acceleration. Rather than regulating a fixed list of technologies, it adopts a risk- and objective-oriented framework intended to remain relevant as AI capabilities evolve. This is reflected in the distinction between high-risk AI systems, which are classified by their intended use, and general-purpose AI (GPAI) models with systemic risk, which are assessed on their capabilities, level of advancement and potential impact.
