The EU's AI Act introduces a harmonised, product-safety-style regulatory framework for AI systems including general-purpose AI, with phased rules starting February 2025. It applies broadly to providers and deployers inside and outside the EU whose AI outputs are used in the EU, imposing duties, banning certain uses, and threatening fines up to EUR 35 million or 7% of global turnover for non-compliance.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must classify your AI products and implement governance now or face severe EU fines and market bans from 2025. Non-EU AI providers with EU users have no safe gap - your compliance starts with this regulation.
