At 1st of August 2024, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) came into force, with the aim to encourage innovation and uptake of AI while ensuring safety, respect for fundamental rights, transparency, and legal certainty. These new requirements became mandatory from 2 August 2025, by applying obligations for general-purpose AI models, governance rules, etc., continuing implementation in steps with full implementation by 2 August 2027.
