European Union (EU) AI Act
The European Union (EU) AI Act, released on April 20, 2021, is the regulatory foundation for which AI systems may be placed on the market or put into service within the EU. The Act aims to ensure that AI is developed and deployed in a manner that is safe, ethical, and respectful of fundamental rights.
The EU AI Act is a significant step towards ensuring trust in the lifecycle of AI systems; and aims to ensure that AI systems are developed and used in a way that is fair, ethical, and respects fundamental rights. While the implementation of the Act will require significant effort, investment, and coordination from global stakeholders, it is a necessary step towards building a future where AI is used to benefit all members of society, without amplifying existing inequalities.
As AI adoption extends across industries, the BSI team are proactively offering services such as conformity assessments, white paper guidance, and on-demand training from its technical experts.
