The European AI Act is a set of regulations introduced by the European Union to ensure the safe and ethical use of artificial intelligence. Its primary goal is to protect users while promoting innovation and competition within the AI industry. The regulations will be monitored by authorities in each country as well as an EU commission.

AI systems are classified into four risk categories: unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal.
Unacceptable Risk AI
Those groups of AI systems are banned in the future!
High-Risk AI
This group of AI systems, which might impact safety or fundamental rights, must meet strict requirements and will be regularly monitored for compliance. Users must be made aware when they are interacting with this type of AI.
Limited Risk AI
Limited and minimal risk AI systems face fewer regulatory obligations.
Minimal Risk AI
In future, anyone who develops such basic models must provide information about the training data and test procedures by means of "technical documentation". Proof must also be provided that applicable copyright law has been complied with. For users who are using these tools, there are no restrictions at the moment.
The EU wants to introduce the new regulations gradually. For example, bans will not apply until February 2025 and some regulations for high-risk AI systems will not apply until 36 months after the start of the AI Act.
As the AI Act is mainly targeting companies who develop AI applications there is only a limited need for immediate action. However, there are some recommendations for website administrators.
