EU AI Act
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is an EU regulation establishing requirements for AI systems based on risk classification. It introduces governance, risk management, documentation, transparency, and monitoring expectations—especially for higher-risk use cases.
Who is the EU AI Act for?
- Organizations developing, deploying, or distributing AI systems in the EU market
- Teams that need structured AI governance, risk documentation, and operational controls
Typical timeline
Readiness work typically starts with classifying AI use cases, defining roles and responsibilities, establishing a risk management approach, and building documentation and monitoring processes.
What SecureSlate can help automate
- Risk management workflows for AI risks (tracking, remediation, approvals)
- Policy and evidence management to maintain documentation and audit trails
- Vendor workflows for AI suppliers and subprocessors where applicable
Does the EU AI Act require a formal audit?
Obligations depend on the system’s risk classification and role (provider/deployer/etc.). Some requirements involve conformity assessment processes; teams should align on obligations based on their specific use cases.
