Do we need an EU representative?

Non-EU providers of high-risk AI systems must appoint an authorised representative established in the EU. That includes UK companies. It takes time to arrange and cannot be improvised once an authority makes contact, so it belongs in the plan rather than in the response to a query.

Does UK GDPR cover us for the EU AI Act?

No. They regulate different things: UK GDPR covers personal data, the EU AI Act covers the system and its risk. A UK company can be fully UK GDPR compliant and still carry unmet EU AI Act obligations.

What changed with the 2026 omnibus?

The high-risk deadlines moved to 2 December 2027 for standalone systems and 2 August 2028 for AI embedded in regulated products. The obligations themselves are largely unchanged, so the preparation work is the same with more runway.

Is working with a Munich-based firm practical from the UK?

Same timezone in practice, one hour apart, and English is the working language. The more relevant point is that EU AI Act interpretation is being shaped by EU regulators, which is easier to follow from inside the market than from outside it.

Does the EU AI Act apply to UK companies?

The EU AI Act applies to UK companies whenever an AI system is placed on the EU market or its output is used inside the EU, regardless of where the company is established. A UK SaaS business whose AI features are used by customers in Ireland or Germany is in scope; a UK firm serving only UK customers is not, though it remains subject to UK GDPR and the UK's own evolving AI guidance.

Post-Brexit this creates a two-regime problem rather than a simpler one. UK GDPR and the EU GDPR have diverged only modestly so far, but the EU AI Act has no UK equivalent, so a UK company selling into Europe must meet an obligation set that does not exist at home and is easy to discover late.

The practical consequence is that classification has to happen against EU rules using EU definitions, even when every engineer and lawyer involved is British.
