EU AI Act entered into force 1 Aug 2024

The EU AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024, 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU. Entering into force is an administrative milestone which does not create any immediate legal obligations for providers or deployers of AI systems. The first legal obligations under the Act will come into effect on 2 February 2025 (6 months from entering into force) – the effect of this will be to ban AI systems with an unacceptable risk.

For more information on who the EU AI Act applies to, see our article here. For assistance with AI system risk categorisation, or to discuss our approach to compliance, please contact a member of the team or download our compliance brochure.
