EU AI Act Implementation Timeline (2024-2030)

The EU AI Act officially became law in July 2024, with its requirements being introduced in phases to allow for a smooth transition. In February 2025, the first regulations took effect, focusing on banning AI systems that pose unacceptable risks. By August 2026, the majority of the law’s rules will apply to most AI technologies and providers. Finally, certain specialized systems and large-scale projects have until 2027 or even 2030 to meet all legal standards.

This might be you

Who the EU AI Act does apply to?

Providers

These are organizations that develop an AI system (or commission its development) and place it on the market under their own name.

  • Industrial efficiency: Software from General Electric helping factories monitor and reduce resource consumption (electricity, gas, water).
  • Transportation and safety: Mobileye technologies providing driver assistance features (automatic braking, lane keeping) for various automotive brands.
  • Financial services: Fraud detection systems from Mastercard.

Deployers

These are individuals or organizations using an AI system in their professional capacity (does not apply to personal, non-professional use).

  • Insurance: Companies (e.g., Allianz) using AI to automate claims processing, such as the “60-second payout” process.
  • Retail and cosmetics: Brands (e.g., Charlotte Tilbury or Max Factor) offering customers virtual makeup try-on or skin diagnostics services using third-party AI solutions.
  • Public sector and law enforcement: Police or border services using biometric identification systems or crime risk assessment tools.

Importers

Importers are required to ensure that the provider from outside the EU has completed all conformity assessment procedures and prepared the necessary documentation.

  • Specialized software providers: A European legal entity that procures an AI system from a developer in the USA or China (without an office in the EU) for subsequent sale or provision to companies within the European Union.
  • System integrators: A European consultancy that licenses an AI-powered analytics tool from a non-EU vendor and resells it as part of its service offering to EU clients.

Distributors

Distributors must verify the presence of CE marking and accompanying documentation before making the system available on the market.

  • Cloud platforms and marketplaces: Services such as AWS Marketplace or Google Cloud Marketplace that make AI models already placed on the EU market available to end users through software libraries or APIs.
  • IT resellers: Value-added resellers (VARs) that distribute AI solutions from established providers to enterprise customers across the EU.

If you represent a group of companies, your structure may include both deployers and providers. And each must comply with their obligations.

What are the requirements?

Unacceptable Risk Systems Provider

Banned for usage.

High-Risk Systems

  • Establish a risk management system throughout the entire AI lifecycle.
  • Implement data governance to ensure representative, error-free training datasets.
  • Prepare detailed technical documentation.
  • Provide clear instructions for use.
  • Enable human oversight capabilities.
  • Meet standards for accuracy, reliability, and cybersecurity.

AI Literacy is required under Article 4 of the EU AI Act for both Deployers and Providers.

Companies must train employees who work with AI so they understand the risks and opportunities of this technology. The business must also be able to provide evidence of training completion, such as passed tests or certificates.

We provide interactive LMS-friendly trainings for all employees that require only 45 minutes to complete.

Typical business problems we solve per consultancy project

ai act for business

Transparency gaps

Chatbots and automated messages generating synthetic content without labeling, detection, and disclosure.

Role uncertainty

One legal entity registered as a Provider while others act as Deployers.

Actionable Insights

AI affecting employment may fall under Annex III, but exceptions for narrow tasks often nullify this.

AI Governance gaps

Lack of proper assessments (i.e., risk assessments, fundamental rights impact assessments, DPIAs, etc.), do’s/don’ts checklists, Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs), templates, weak awareness, etc.

Data Privacy Specialist

The course is well-structured and well-presented. I’m very happy with Petruta Pirvan as a trainer. She has extensive knowledge of the subject and explains things clearly and concisely, even for beginners. I think I was generally very happy with the structure of the training and the approach to the EU AI Act, including the cross-references to national-level contexts. Some of the students also brought valuable insights from their own national jurisdictions. Both theory and practice had a good balance. I would not say at all it was superficial.

Privacy Officer

I had seen many courses on AI for other industries, but none specifically for data protection. When I found this course, it was a real eye-opener. Additionally, the course doesn’t just focus on the benefits of AI but also addresses its risks, providing valuable insights on how to use AI safely and effectively in our field.

DPO Consultant

I really enjoyed this course. It showed me how to integrate AI into the daily tasks. Siarhei explains everything clearly and with humor, and it’s obvious that he has extensive experience in consulting. The practical examples were particularly valuable. The course provided a solid foundation and practical insights into how AI can be used in everyday work, which I’m excited to start implementing as I move forward.

Compliance Manager

I’m not a techie, and honestly, I was worried that the course would be overloaded with complicated tools. The n8n module was definitely the hardest part, but Siarhey explained everything step by step, and eventually, it all clicked. Otherwise, everything was fantastic — lots of concrete case studies, real-world examples of how to apply AI in tasks like DPIA analysis and handling subject access requests.

Data Privacy Officer

Everything Siarhei covered was focused on practical application: how to use the tools, how to write effective prompts, and where automation really makes a difference. Some parts were challenging, especially if you’ve never worked with integrations, but after a few tries, it all clicked. I’ve already automated part of my reporting process and saved a ton of time.

Senior Data Protection Consultant

AI4DPO turned out to be the most hands-on course I’ve taken in recent years. There was no unnecessary theory, it was all about practical application. The best part for me was learning how to use AI for report generation and checking policies for GDPR compliance. Siarhei deserves special mention since he doesn’t just teach, he shows you how a professional thinks when combining legal expertise with technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GDPR compliance the same as meeting the regulatory requirements of the Artificial Intelligence Act?

No, they are distinct but overlapping regulatory frameworks. While GDPR compliance focuses on the protection of personal data, the Artificial Intelligence Act introduces a broader governance framework for the development and use of artificial intelligence based on risk levels. But still the main principles of people’s privacy rights as transparency and bias absence are the same for both regulations. Our services leverage deep data protection expertise to ensure your organisation meets both sets of regulatory obligations.

We can make you audit-ready for stakeholder reviews, procurement, and regulatory compliance within 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the chosen package. For example, the Startup Fast-Track takes 4–6 weeks to deliver a complete inventory and gap analysis. We provide proactive expert guidance to speed up your ai adoption and satisfy regulatory expectations.

While an organisation can attempt internal implementation, the regulatory landscape is complex and requires tailored solutions to mitigate risks associated with artificial intelligence. We provide tailored support to embed trustworthy AI principles into your organisational processes. Our team helps you draft technical documentation and policies that ensure adherence to global data standards.

At the end of the project, you receive a comprehensive governance framework, including an audit-ready AI system inventory, risk classification, and a remediation plan. Deliverables also include a template kit (AI DPIA, Risk Register, Transparency Notice) and executive-ready evidence packages for investor due diligence or enterprise sales.

Yes, we include third-party AI integrations and vendors in our inventory and risk management mapping. We provide a specific vendor and external AI tools compliance checklist to ensure that your use of artificial intelligence remains responsibly managed across the entire organisation.

We map all artificial intelligence systems against your company’s organisational structure. We clarify regulatory roles (Provider, Deployer, Importer) for each legal entity and distribute regulatory obligations accordingly, ensuring sector-specific adherence to the Artificial Intelligence Act.

Yes, our Enterprise Compliance Sprint is designed to embed controls directly into your SDLC and tools like Jira, GitHub/GitLab, and cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP). This ensures that ensuring compliance becomes a scalable and automated part of your development and use of artificial systems.

Yes, Article 4 of the Act requires organisational AI literacy. We provide interactive, LMS-friendly training for employees. To meet regulatory requirements, we provide evidence of training completion, such as certificates or passed tests, to demonstrate responsible ai governance. Learn more about our training programs here.

Our base pricing covers up to 5 AI systems and one jurisdiction. We offer scalable add-ons for additional systems (€1,200 each) and a multi-jurisdiction add-on (+€2,500) to support your global data ai strategy.

Unlike traditional firms, we provide expert guidance that combines legal audit requirements with technical deployment expertise. We don’t just provide a draft of a policy; we help you mitigate real-world risks through bias testing, fairness audits, and SDLC integration, ensuring your ai development is both responsible and compliant.

We provide post-delivery support to help you responsibly handle follow-up inquiries. If a regulator requests documentation within 90 days of project completion, we provide it free of charge. Some packages also include up to 6 months of ongoing proactive support.

  • Startup Fast-Track: Best for Seed-Series B companies with up to 5 systems needing a quick regulatory gap analysis.
  • Startup Premium: Ideal for those preparing for fundraising, including an investor due diligence pack.
  • Enterprise Sprint: Designed for large-scale ai adoption (up to 20 systems) requiring multi-entity liability structuring and GPAI compliance analysis.
