EU AI Act Compliance
What Companies Need To Know
The EU AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive regulation for AI systems. It categorizes them by risk - from minimal to high - and defines clear requirements. Businesses using or developing AI, especially in sensitive areas like healthcare, HR, or public services, must meet strict safety and compliance standards. But understanding the Act in practice can be complex. Companies are asking:
-
How do we apply Articles 9–15 at both use case and company level?
-
How do we govern and deploy generative AI compliantly?
-
Which process changes and roles are essential to meet legal and technical standards?
-
How do we upskill employees for the Act’s AI literacy expectations?
-
How can AI risk management be integrated into daily operations?
At appliedAI, we help companies answer these questions — practically, efficiently, and tailored to their needs.
The Opportunities Behind Regulation
The EU AI Act isn’t just about compliance. Done right, it’s a chance to:
- Improve internal AI processes and risk awareness.
- Build trust with customers, regulators, and partners.
- Identify and scale high-value AI systems confidently.
- Strengthen ethical use of technology across your organization.
- Lay the foundation for global AI readiness.
