US-Specific Challenges We Solve
EU AI Act for US Companies
The EU AI Act has extraterritorial reach - if your AI system's output is used in the EU, you must comply. High-risk systems face an August 2026 deadline. We help you classify, assess, and prepare.
GDPR Compliance
GDPR applies to any company processing EU residents' data. We design AI systems with privacy-by-design architectures that satisfy both GDPR and US state privacy laws.
EU Market Entry
Launching AI products in the EU? We help you navigate the regulatory landscape, identify compliance requirements, and build systems that are market-ready from day one.
Compliance-First AI Development
We don't just advise - we build. Custom AI systems with EU compliance baked into the architecture, saving you from expensive retrofitting later.
When does the EU AI Act apply to a US company?
The EU AI Act applies to a US company when it places an AI system on the EU market, or when the output of its AI system is used in the EU, irrespective of where the company or its servers are located. A US product company with European customers is in scope. So is a US firm whose model produces results that are acted on inside the EU, even with no European entity.
The structure will feel familiar to anyone who lived through GDPR: extraterritorial reach, penalties tied to global turnover, and a compliance burden that scales with risk rather than company size. The difference is that GDPR regulates data and the AI Act regulates the system, so a mature privacy programme does not carry over as much as teams expect.
The most common US misreading is treating this as a European legal question to answer later. Classification and documentation are engineering decisions, and retrofitting them costs considerably more than building them in.
