The EU AI Act applies obligations to downstream providers using AI outputs in the EU regardless of company location, and clarifies the distinct regulatory responsibilities for model providers and deployers, especially around high-risk AI systems and required documentation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must secure model documentation from providers if your AI output serves EU users, even without an EU entity. If your AI feature scores people or handles sensitive processes, review if you cross into high-risk AI duties under the EU Act.
