Frequently Asked Questions
What is the European Union AI Act?
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation COM(2021)206) is the world's first comprehensive regulatory framework for AI. It classifies AI systems according to risk tiers (unacceptable, high risk, specific transparency risk, minimal risk) and establishes strict transparency and evaluation mandates for foundation model developers.
Who enforces the AI Act at the EU level?
The European AI Office, established within the European Commission's DG CNECT, oversees the implementation of rules on General Purpose AI, facilitates voluntary codes of practice, and investigates systemic risk incidents.
How can enterprise compliance teams track ongoing regulatory shifts?
AltDataEU provides automated tracking of legislative revisions, committee hearings, parliamentary voting records, and bilateral lobbyist consultations, alerting institutional clients in real time when key regulatory milestones change.
