Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive law regulating artificial intelligence. It classifies AI systems by risk level — minimal, limited, high, and unacceptable — and sets requirements for each. It applies to any company offering or using AI in the EU market, regardless of where they are based.
When does the EU AI Act take effect?
The EU AI Act entered into force on August 1, 2024. Prohibited AI practices apply from February 2, 2025. Full enforcement for high-risk AI systems begins on August 2, 2026. Companies must comply by these deadlines or face fines up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue.
Does the EU AI Act apply to SMEs?
Yes. The EU AI Act applies to all organizations that develop, deploy, or use AI systems in the EU market — including SMEs and startups. However, SMEs benefit from lighter obligations such as simplified documentation and access to AI regulatory sandboxes. Article 62 specifically addresses measures for small businesses.
What are the fines for non-compliance with the EU AI Act?
Fines range from €7.5 million to €35 million, or 1% to 7% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Prohibited AI practices carry the highest fines (€35M or 7%), while failure to comply with other provisions can result in fines up to €15M or 3% of turnover.
