The World's First Comprehensive AI Law

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence, classifying AI systems into risk categories — unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risk — and imposing corresponding obligations on providers and deployers. High-risk AI systems face the most extensive requirements, including risk management systems, data governance, technical documentation, and human oversight. CyberSilo helps organizations classify their AI systems, build required documentation, and implement the governance processes the Act mandates.

Core Requirements

EU AI Act — Core Obligations

Risk Classification

AI systems must be classified as unacceptable, high, limited, or minimal risk, determining which obligations apply — with unacceptable-risk systems prohibited outright.

High-Risk System Requirements

High-risk AI systems require risk management systems, data governance, technical documentation, logging, and human oversight mechanisms before market deployment.

Transparency Obligations

Certain AI systems — including chatbots and deepfake generators — must disclose to users that they are interacting with or viewing AI-generated content.

Provider & Deployer Governance

Both AI system providers and organizations deploying AI systems have distinct obligations, including conformity assessments, monitoring, and incident reporting.

Regulatory Context

Why EU AI Act Compliance Matters

Extraterritorial Reach

The Act applies to any organization placing AI systems on the EU market or whose AI system outputs are used within the EU, regardless of where the provider is based.

Significant Penalty Exposure

Non-compliance can result in fines calculated as a percentage of global annual turnover, among the highest penalty structures in EU digital regulation.

Phased Enforcement Already Underway

Provisions on prohibited AI practices and general-purpose AI obligations are already in force, with high-risk system requirements phasing in on a defined timeline.
