EU AI Act Compliance Consulting
The EU AI Act is now law. If your AI systems affect EU citizens, you need to comply - regardless of where your company is based. We help you navigate the requirements, classify your risks, and build a compliance roadmap before the deadlines hit.
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. It establishes a risk-based framework that applies to any company deploying AI systems that affect people in the European Union - even if the company is headquartered outside the EU.
The regulation categorizes AI systems into risk levels: unacceptable, high-risk, limited risk, and minimal risk. Each level has different requirements for transparency, documentation, human oversight, and conformity assessment.
Non-compliance can result in fines up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover - whichever is higher.
Does the EU AI Act apply to you?
You use AI to make decisions about EU citizens
You develop AI products used in the EU market
You deploy AI in healthcare, finance, HR, or education
You use general-purpose AI models (like GPT, Claude, etc.)
If any of these apply, you likely need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EU AI Act apply to companies outside the EU?
Yes. If your AI system is used by or affects people in the EU, the regulation applies to you - regardless of where your company is headquartered. This is similar to how GDPR works.
What counts as a 'high-risk' AI system?
High-risk systems include AI used in healthcare, finance, employment, education, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and migration. The full list is defined in Annex III of the regulation.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Fines can reach up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover for the most serious violations. Even minor infractions can result in fines of €7.5 million or 1% of turnover.
How long does it take to become compliant?
It depends on the number and complexity of your AI systems. A basic readiness assessment takes 1-2 weeks. Full compliance for high-risk systems typically takes 3-6 months.
Do I need to comply if I only use ChatGPT or similar tools?
If you deploy general-purpose AI models in business-critical processes, you may have obligations under the GPAI provisions. Using AI for internal productivity tools has lighter requirements than customer-facing applications.
