What came into force with the EU’s AI Act this week – and what didn’t

On August 2, the EU’s AI Act entered its next phase, introducing transparency requirements for AI systems that interact with people, such as chatbots. These rules mandate that users be informed when engaging with AI, requiring disclosure rather than outright bans. Key provisions include making synthetic content identifiable and informing individuals when their biometric data is processed. Fines of up to €15 million or 3% of global revenue can be imposed for non-compliance. However, the most significant 'high-risk' regulations, covering areas like biometrics and immigration, are postponed until December 2027. The law aims to complement existing digital regulations like GDPR, potentially shaping global AI governance standards.
