EU AI Act
What is EU AI Act?
The world's first comprehensive AI regulation, establishing risk-based rules for the placing on the market, putting into service and use of AI systems in the Union. Adopted 13 Jun 2024 (OJ L 1689/2024); entered into force 1 Aug 2024 with staged application: prohibited practices and AI literacy from 2 Feb 2025; GPAI obligations from 2 Aug 2025; most high-risk AI obligations from 2 Aug 2026; full application from 2 Aug 2027. It comprises 43 controls organised across 9 domains, and applies in the European Union.
How EU AI Act maps to other frameworks
All 43 controls, each one mapped to the equivalent requirement in other standards, with the evidence that carries across and the mappings that were judged and rejected shown alongside. No account needed to look.
