EU AI Act Jobs

The EU AI Act is the European Union's comprehensive AI regulation, the first binding, economy-wide AI law of its kind. It classifies AI systems by risk level, from banned practices to high-risk systems (such as those used in hiring, credit, or critical infrastructure) down to limited- and minimal-risk tools, and layers on separate obligations for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models. It entered into force on 1 August 2024 and its obligations phase in over 2025-2027: prohibited practices and AI-literacy duties applied from 2 February 2025, obligations for general-purpose AI models from 2 August 2025, and the bulk of the high-risk-system requirements from 2 August 2026 (with embedded high-risk products following in 2027). Any company placing AI systems on the EU market, or whose AI output is used in the EU, can fall in scope regardless of where the company is based.
