What is the EU AI Act?
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for AI. It establishes a risk-based approach with stricter requirements for high-risk applications, transparency obligations, and substantial penalties for non-compliance.
Article 10 (Data Governance) requires providers of high-risk AI systems to document training, validation, and testing datasets—including measures taken to detect and address bias and ensure data quality. This means you must know what personal data your AI systems process.
Key Compliance Requirements
- Data Governance (Art. 10): Document training data sources, identify PII in datasets
- Technical Documentation (Art. 11): Maintain records of data processing operations
- Transparency (Art. 13): Inform users when AI processes personal data
- Human Oversight (Art. 14): Enable human review of AI decisions affecting individuals
- Record Keeping (Art. 12): Log AI system activities for audit purposes
- Accuracy & Security (Art. 15): Ensure AI systems are accurate and cybersecure

| High-risk AI non-compliance | Up to €15 million | 3% |
| Incorrect information to authorities | Up to €7.5 million | 1.5% |
Example: A company with €1 billion annual turnover could face fines up to €70 million (7%) for prohibited AI practices, or €30 million (3%) for high-risk AI non-compliance.
