EU AI Act Now Effective
The EU AI Act establishes comprehensive AI regulations for organisations operating in the EU, requiring risk-based compliance across four tiers.
Introduction
The EU AI Act is a landmark regulatory development that sets a new standard for AI governance globally. ## Affected Organisations
Organisations operating in the EU, or those providing AI-powered services to EU residents, are affected by this regulation. ## Compliance
The EAAPL pattern 'compliance/eu-ai-act-compliance' provides a structured approach to addressing the compliance requirements, enabling enterprise architects to assess AI system risks, apply proportionate controls, and maintain records of compliance, thereby ensuring adherence to the EU AI Act's risk-based obligations.
