Current legislation

The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act)[1] is a European Union regulation concerning artificial intelligence (AI). It establishes a common regulatory and legal framework for AI within the European Union (EU).[2] It came into force on 1 August 2024,[3] with provisions that shall come into operation gradually over the following 6 to 36 months.[4]

It covers all types of AI across a broad range of sectors, with exceptions for AI systems used solely for military, national security, research and non-professional purposes.[5] As a piece of product regulation, it does not confer rights on individuals, but regulates the providers of AI systems and entities using AI in a professional context.[6]

The Act classifies non-exempt AI applications by their risk of causing harm. There are four levels – unacceptable, high, limited, minimal – plus an additional category for general-purpose AI.[7]

  • Applications with unacceptable risks are banned.
  • High-risk applications must comply with security, transparency and quality obligations, and undergo conformity assessments.
  • Limited-risk applications only have transparency obligations.
  • Minimal-risk applications are not regulated.

For general-purpose AI, transparency requirements are imposed, with reduced requirements for open source models, and additional evaluations for high-capability models.[8][9]

The Act also creates a European Artificial Intelligence Board to promote national cooperation and ensure compliance with the regulation.[10] Like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, the Act can apply extraterritorially to providers from outside the EU if they have users within the EU.[6]

Proposed by the European Commission on 21 April 2021,[11] it passed the European Parliament on 13 March 2024,[12] and was unanimously approved by the EU Council on 21 May 2024.[13] The draft Act was revised to address the rise in popularity of generative artificial intelligence systems, such as ChatGPT, whose general-purpose capabilities did not fit the main framework.[14]
