The EU AI Act turned into a practical playbook: what it requires, who it applies to, and when each obligation bites.
If an AI product reaches Europe, compliance is not optional, and the most serious breaches can cost up to 7% of global annual turnover. Hundreds of pages of regulation stand between most teams and a clear answer.
This guide cuts through it for founders, product teams and their advisers: risk tiers, roles, obligations and timelines, explained so you can act.
What you will learn
- How to classify an AI system by risk tier
