Review EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is a European Union regulation that establishes obligations for AI systems and participants using a risk-based legal framework, with requirements that vary by system, role, and use.

The regulation does not treat all AI alike. It prohibits some practices, creates requirements for certain higher-risk uses, and assigns duties across providers, deployers, importers, distributors, and other actors.

Organizations may be affected by where systems and people operate, which role the organization plays, and how an AI system is used—not only where a vendor is headquartered.

A company evaluating an AI-supported employment process determines its legal role, system classification, documentation duties, human-oversight needs, and applicable dates.

The EU AI Act is not one immediate rule applied identically to every AI feature. Scope, classification, role, exceptions, and phased applicability require current legal review.

The obligation follows the role, risk, use, and applicable date.
