Summary

This page was intended to announce the EU Artificial Intelligence Act entering into force, a landmark piece of EU regulation establishing a risk-based framework for AI oversight. The page is currently unavailable (404 error), but the EU AI Act came into force in August 2024, representing the world's first comprehensive horizontal AI regulation. It sets binding requirements for high-risk AI systems and bans certain AI applications across EU member states.

Key Points

•The EU AI Act entered into force in August 2024 as the world's first comprehensive AI regulatory framework
•The Act uses a risk-based tiered approach, imposing stricter requirements on higher-risk AI applications
•Certain AI uses are outright prohibited (e.g., social scoring, real-time biometric surveillance in public spaces)
•High-risk AI systems face mandatory conformity assessments, transparency obligations, and human oversight requirements
•The regulation applies to any AI system deployed within the EU, including by non-EU companies
