The Artificial Intelligence Act ("AI Act") is in the final stages of the EU legislative process. It is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, after which it will likely become a global standard for AI legislation. The AI Act and its obligations has attracted attention from around the world due to its novel nature and anticipated impact on providing and using AI in the EU.
Providers and users of AI, as well as other parties in the AI value chain, e.g., distributors, could be in scope of the AI Act, regardless of where they are established. Obligations are tiered according to the risk posed by the AI system, with the most burdensome falling on high risk applications of AI. In response to the rapid developments in the AI field, the AI Act will likely introduce bespoke obligations for foundation models and generative AI. Depending on the nature of the AI system, companies in scope could be required to implement comprehensive risk management systems, draw up and maintain technical documentation, comply with transparency requirements, and apply data governance and management practices when training models.
