EU AI Act: What U.S. Companies Need To Know

The Europe AI Act offers a fresh legal framework designed to promote artificial intelligence innovation while safeguarding basic rights and safety. AI systems are classified by several different levels of risk: forbidden, high-risk, restricted risk, and minimal risk, or no risk. U.S. enterprises have to comply if they provide AI-related services in the EU, include AI in goods sold by EU-based companies, or handle EU citizens’ data. High-risk AI systems — like those used in employment, education, and healthcare — have stricter criteria, including employing high-quality data, adopting risk management to handle vulnerabilities, guaranteeing human oversight, and satisfying strong standards for accuracy, resilience, and cybersecurity.
