The AI Act supports responsible innovation

The EU AI Act is intended to make the use of artificial intelligence more transparent and more secure – particularly in relation to high-risk systems. It provides legal certainty, encourages standardization, and supplements existing legislation, such as the GDPR and the Product Liability Directive. For companies, this translates to clear requirements, reduced legal risk, and easier compliance. Those who take action early will be able to bring legally compliant AI solutions to market faster – a competitive advantage that will strengthen customer trust.
