Questions about EU AI Act
Does EU AI Act apply to my business?
The EU AI Act applies to you if you provide or deploy an AI system in the Union, or if you are in a third country and the system output is intended for use in the Union (Recital 21). Importers and distributors of AI systems placed on the Union market are also covered (Article 3(6), Article 3(7)).
Who does EU AI Act apply to?
It applies to providers, deployers, importers, distributors, authorised representatives, product manufacturers and third parties supplying components, together called operators (Article 3(8)). Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies acting as provider or deployer are covered too (Recital 21).
Does EU AI Act apply to a small business?
There is no size threshold and no size exemption from the mandatory high-risk requirements, which apply regardless of size. SMEs, including start-ups, without partner or linked enterprises may use a simplified quality management system under Article 63(1), and their fines are capped at the lower of the percentage of turnover or the absolute amount (Recitals 168, 169).
When does EU AI Act apply from, and what are the deadlines?
The Regulation entered into force on 1 August 2024 (Article 113) and the general date of application is 2 August 2026. Chapter III, Sections 1, 2 and 3, other than Article 6(5), apply from 2 December 2027 for Annex III high-risk systems and from 2 August 2028 for Annex I high-risk systems (Article 113, as replaced by Article 1(40)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2026/1744).
What does EU AI Act require me to do?
What you must do depends on your role and the risk tier. Providers of high-risk systems must meet the Chapter III, Section 2 requirements, keep technical documentation, run a quality management system and post-market monitoring, carry out conformity assessment, draw up an EU declaration of conformity, affix CE marking, register in the EU database and report serious incidents (Article 16).
What records or documents does EU AI Act require me to keep or produce?
Providers must keep technical documentation, quality management system documentation, notified body decisions and the EU declaration of conformity for 10 years after placing on market or putting into service (Article 18(1)). Automatically generated logs must be kept for at least six months (Articles 19(1), 26(6)), and importers must keep certificates, instructions for use and the declaration for 10 years (Article 23(5)).
What happens if I do not comply with EU AI Act?
Infringing the Article 5 prohibited practices carries fines of up to EUR 35,000,000 or 7 per cent of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Other operator and notified body non-compliance carries up to EUR 15,000,000 or 3 per cent, and supplying incorrect information carries up to EUR 7,500,000 or 1 per cent (Recitals 168, 169).
Does EU AI Act apply to a UK business selling into the EU?
Yes. The Regulation has extraterritorial application where an AI system output is intended for use in the Union, which brings third-country providers within scope (Recital 21).
Does EU AI Act apply to an EU business selling into the UK?
Yes. Providers and deployers established in the Union are covered, and importers and distributors placing AI systems on the Union market are within scope (Recital 21, Article 3(6), Article 3(7)).
How is EU AI Act different from Digital Services Act?
The AI Act is without prejudice to the liability provisions for providers of intermediary services under the Digital Services Act (Recital 11). AI systems embedded in designated very large online platforms or search engines are subject to the DSA risk-management system, and the corresponding AI Act obligations are presumed fulfilled unless significant systemic risks not covered by the DSA emerge (Article 2(5)).
How do I start complying with EU AI Act?
Start by settling whether the Act applies to you, which role you hold, which AI systems you provide or deploy and which risk level each one falls into, because every later step depends on those answers.
Which ComplianceSME account includes the EU AI Act toolkit?
The EU AI Act agent toolkit is included from the Micro level.
