Definition

EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is the European Union's risk-based regulation of AI systems, imposing obligations - up to outright bans - according to a system's risk classification.

If you deploy AI affecting EU users, the Act's tier (minimal, limited, high, or unacceptable risk) drives your documentation, transparency, and oversight duties. Confirm your vendor supports the obligations your use case inherits.
