EU Artificial Intelligence Act Enters a Critical Compliance Phase

The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) has entered a key compliance phase. Organizations deploying high-risk AI systems must now begin implementing internal oversight, transparency reporting, and traceability procedures. National supervisory authorities are expected to release sector-specific guidance in the coming months. AI applications related to biometric identification, critical infrastructure control, and medical diagnostics will be subject to heightened documentation and risk evaluation requirements. This development is regarded as a leading model for global AI governance and may shape upcoming regulatory frameworks in the U.S., U.K., and various Asian jurisdictions.
