REGULATION
EU AI Act
The European Union's risk-based legal framework for developing, providing and using AI systems.
DEFINITION
EU AI Act definition
The EU AI Act is a risk-based legal framework for artificial intelligence systems placed on the EU market or used in the European Union. It assigns duties according to the system, its use and the organisation's role. The legal obligations belong to the client; Cinderpath builds and operates technical controls that can support compliance work.
WHY IT MATTERS NOW
The current operating pressure
Regulatory fact, European Commission: the AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024 and applies in phases. Teams need an inventory of systems, roles and evidence so each applicable date can be assessed against actual use.
WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT
Work connected to EU AI Act
Evaluation and guardrails
An evaluation set, cost and latency limits, and logging, so model behaviour is measured rather than assumed.
NIS2 and DORA readiness
A gap assessment and a technical plan against NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act. The obligations stay yours, the controls are ours to build.
