EU AI Act: comply with a clear plan

We classify your AI systems by risk, define your obligations according to your role and integrate them into an ISO 42001 management system.

What is the AI Act?

The first comprehensive AI law

The AI Act regulates the development, marketing and use of AI in the European Union with a risk-based approach: the higher the risk, the more obligations.

It also applies to providers and deployers outside the EU when their systems, or the outputs they produce, are used within it.

In 2026, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, known as the Digital Omnibus, postponed the high-risk obligations and adjusted other requirements. The current timeline is below.

Risk levels

Four categories

01

Unacceptable risk

Prohibited: social scoring, manipulation or emotion recognition at work and school, among others.

02

High risk

Employment, credit, education, biometrics, critical infrastructure or product safety components: strict requirements and conformity assessment.

03

Transparency

Chatbots, deepfakes and generated content: users must be informed and content must be marked.

04

Minimal risk

No specific obligations; voluntary codes of conduct are encouraged.

Phases

How we get you to compliance

  1. 1Inventory of AI systems and models in use or in development.

  3. 3Gap analysis against applicable obligations and the current timeline.
  4. 4AI governance: policies, literacy, human oversight and risk management.

FAQ

What clients ask us most

What is the AI Act?

It is Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence. It classifies AI systems by risk level and sets obligations for each role.

Does it apply to Latin American companies?

Yes, if they market AI systems in the European Union or if the outputs of their systems are used there.

What changed with the Digital Omnibus?

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 postponed Annex III high-risk requirements to 2 December 2027 and Annex I requirements to 2 August 2028, and relaxed the AI literacy obligation.

How does it relate to ISO 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001 provides the management system (policies, risks, controls and continuous improvement) on which compliance rests. It does not replace legal obligations, but it organizes them and makes them easier to demonstrate.
