Our Thinking
Preparing for the AI Act
With just a few months to go until the EU Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) Act starts coming into effect, it is time for companies to start taking concrete actions to understand, adapt and prepare for the implementation of the Act. Priority steps for in-scope companies include identifying and mapping the risk level of your AI systems, assessing which operator role you play, and promoting AI awareness and literacy among your staff.
With this in mind, Matheson’s Digital Economy Group has published a comprehensive AI Guide for Businesses, which provides an overview of the AI Act, and will help you to understand the scope of your new obligations. In addition, our AI Recitals Guide, which aligns the AI Act’s recitals with the related articles, allowing you to easily locate the explanation for the articles, and expand your understanding of the Act’s requirements.
