The EU AI Act: Time to act

With the EU AI Act, the European Union has introduced a landmark regulation that reshapes the governance of Artificial Intelligence. Effective from August 1st, 2024, this act imposes significant legal obligations on all stakeholders involved in AI compliance across the EU economy and beyond. The act’s broad scope requires AI systems to be safe, transparent, traceable, and non-discriminatory, making compliance a complex but crucial endeavor.

The Capgemini compliance method: your blueprint for success

Legislation for emerging technology can be difficult to understand. So, let’s provide a summary of the EU AI Act. The European Union’s AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive regulation of AI, applying to all organizations using or developing AI systems within the EU. The Act takes a risk-based approach, imposing requirements on different actors across the AI supply chain, adding complexity to the already intricate regulatory environment for AI providers and users.

The three pillars of trustworthy AI

To establish a framework of compliant and trustworthy AI, it is imperative to address the following three pillars:

Robust

AI solutions must demonstrate resilience and dependability in various scenarios. Our approach focuses on developing AI systems that perform reliably and consistently, even when faced with uncertainty and complexity. Furthermore, the requirements of the AI Act regarding robustness, cybersecurity, technical documentation, data governance, etc. must always be fulfilled. The creation of a robust AI governance framework guards you against the risks and helps you upscale your AI usage.

AI innovation should align with all applicable laws and frameworks. The AI Act will change the compliance environment enormously, but it will ultimately lead to safe innovation, thanks to regulatory certainty.

Ethical considerations are at the heart of our AI development process. We believe in creating AI systems that prioritize fairness, transparency, and accountability, addressing biases and ensuring just outcomes. Put simply, AI should augment human intelligence and never cause any harm.
