The EU AI Act, the world's first comprehensive horizontal AI regulation, has begun phased enforcement since 2025 with full obligations for high-risk AI systems starting in late 2027 and 2028. Recent deferrals give organizations more time to comply but do not change core requirements, necessitating immediate readiness actions by affected companies.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models, AI Infrastructure and Generative AI.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Corporate leaders in or serving the EU must prioritise EU AI Act compliance now as delay threatens market exclusion; this is your window to build or buy compliance capabilities before high-risk AI rules fully apply.
