We have no EU entity. Are we still in scope?

Possibly. Scope follows where the system is placed on the market or where its output is used, not where the company is registered. Having no European presence does not remove the obligation, and non-EU providers of high-risk systems must appoint an EU authorised representative.

How does this compare to US state AI laws?

They coexist and do not substitute for one another. State-level rules tend to focus on specific applications and disclosures; the EU AI Act imposes a horizontal risk classification with conformity obligations attached. Meeting one says little about the other.

Does our SOC 2 or GDPR programme help?

It helps with the machinery, not the substance. Records, assessments and accountability structures transfer; the risk classification, technical documentation and post-market monitoring the AI Act requires are new work.

What is the first concrete step?

An inventory of AI systems with intended purpose and role recorded for each, then a classification triage. Most systems land outside high-risk, and knowing which few do not is what makes the rest of the effort proportionate.

US-specifični izazovi koje rješavamo

Usklađenost s EU AI Actom

EU AI Act ima ekstrateritorijalnu primjenu - ako se izlaz vašeg AI sustava koristi u EU, morate biti usklađeni. Visokorizični sustavi imaju rok do kolovoza 2026. Pomažemo vam klasificirati, procijeniti i pripremiti se.

GDPR usklađeno

GDPR se primjenjuje na svaku tvrtku koja obrađuje podatke stanovnika EU. Dizajniramo AI sustave s privacy-by-design arhitekturama koje zadovoljavaju i GDPR i američke državne zakone o privatnosti.

Ulazak na EU tržište

Lansirate AI proizvode u EU? Pomažemo vam navigirati regulatornim krajolikom, identificirati zahtjeve usklađenosti i izgraditi sustave spremne za tržište od prvog dana.

Razvoj prilagođenog AI-a

Ne samo savjetujemo - gradimo. Prilagođeni AI sustavi s EU usklađenošću ugrađenom u arhitekturu, čime izbjegavate skupu naknadnu prilagodbu.

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.
