The Artificial Intelligence

Act (EU AI Act)

The European Parliament approved
and voted in favor of The Artificial
Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) and is now
set before the European Council for
final negotiation.
What does the EU AI Act
aim to do?
The EU AI Act aims to foster transparency, trust,
and accountability in AI, safeguarding the
safety, rights, and democratic values of the EU.

It tackles ethical concerns and implementation

hurdles across healthcare, education, finance,
and energy sectors, striking a balance between
promoting AI adoption and mitigating potential
harm.
What is the Scope of the
EU AI Act?
Act applies mainly to AI Systems that generate
outputs such as content, predictions,
recommendations, or decisions influencing the
environments they interact with.

It applies to providers of AI Systems irrespective

of their location, users of AI systems located in
the Union, and providers and users of AI systems
located outside the Union where the output
produced by the system is used in the Union.
What does the EU AI Act
Regulate?
The Act classifies AI systems into three categories:
Prohibited AI,
High-risk AI, and
Limited Risk AI.

The legislation mainly regulates High-Risk AI

Systems while Prohibited AI Systems are strictly
prohibited, and Limited Risk AI Systems have to
comply with certain transparency obligations.
Are AI systems used for
Surveillance Prohibited
under the Act?
The Act limits the use of AI Systems for
Surveillance.

The use of Biometric Data from social media

or CCTV Footage to train facial recognition AI
used in criminal profiling by Law enforcement
authorities is prohibited.
Real-time remote biometric identification
systems in Publicly accessible places for the
purpose of law enforcement authorities is
prohibited unless strictly necessary.
What are the Key
Obligations of High-Risk
AI Systems?
01 Conduct conformity
assessments

02 Enable automatic
event recording.

03 Ensure transparent
outputs.

04 Develop AI systems
with quality data.
What are the fines for
non-compliance?
Under the new EU AI Act, non-compliance can
lead to fines of up to 30,000,000 EUR or, if the
offender is a company, up to 6% of its total
worldwide annual turnover for the preceding
financial year, whichever is higher.
