EU AI Act

Your obligations and opportunities at a glance.

AI Consulting

We offer smart solutions for successful AI integration

The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive regulation for artificial intelligence in Europe. It defines how AI systems must be developed, used and monitored. For your company, this means new opportunities through trust in AI – but also clear obligations regarding transparency, security and compliance. 

Our AI consulting helps you implement the requirements in a practical and efficient way – from the analysis and governance structures to documentation. 
At the same time, our AI training courses make your team fit for the new legal requirements. 

You can find current developments and practical insights in our news. 

The EU AI Act: What you need to know now

Your obligations under the EU AI Act

As a company, you must ensure that your AI systems meet the legal requirements. These include: 

  • Documentation and transparency obligations 
  • Risk management & compliance requirements 
  • Training and monitoring obligations for employees 

Our AI consulting supports you in implementing an effective compliance framework and helps to integrate the new obligations efficiently into existing processes. In addition, our AI training courses offer targeted training to raise employees’ awareness of the requirements of the law. 

Affected AI models and risk classes

The EU AI Act distinguishes between high-risk and low-risk systems. High-risk AI in particular is subject to strict requirements, as it has a direct impact on fundamental rights, safety and critical processes. This includes, among others: 

  • Chatbots and voice assistants when they are used in sensitive customer contact or in decision-making processes. 
  • Biometric systems such as facial recognition or fingerprint scanners that process personal data. 
  • AI in critical infrastructure, for example in energy supply, healthcare or transport. 
  • AI for sensitive decisions, e.g. in human resources for application processes or in the financial sector for lending decisions.

Strict obligations apply to these systems with regard to transparency, documentation, risk management and training. Companies must ensure that their applications are operated in a traceable, secure and compliant manner. 

Consequences of violations

Violations of the EU AI Act can be expensive. Fines of up to EUR 30 million or 6% of worldwide annual turnoverare possible. 

In addition to financial penalties, there is often considerable reputational damage. 
Early compliance strengthens trust among customers, partners and employees. 

Training obligation under the EU AI Act for employees

A key requirement of the EU AI Act is the training obligation. Your employees must learn to use AI systems safely, recognise risks and comply with regulatory requirements. 

Our AI training courses cover these requirements – from the basics to practice-oriented training for specialist departments. 

Timeline and entry into force 

The EU AI Act was adopted in early 2025 and is coming into force in stages. Depending on the risk class of your AI systems, you will be affected sooner or later. High-risk applications in particular, such as biometric systems or critical infrastructure, require short-term adjustments. You can find out which of your solutions may be affected in our AI applications. 

Scope for companies, providers and users 

The EU AI Act applies to all companies, providers and users of AI systems that are active in the EU – regardless of whether your company is headquartered in Europe. It therefore affects not only large corporations but also medium-sized and small companies as soon as AI is used in everyday business. 

We show you how to integrate the regulatory requirements into your business strategy in our AI consulting or in our training on the EU AI Act.
