The European Union AI Act is the first comprehensive legal framework for regulating artificial intelligence. In this episode, I break down the key components of the Act, including AI risk classifications, prohibited systems, obligations, and implementation timelines.

Key Topics Covered:

• Classification of AI by Risk Levels – How the EU regulates AI based on potential harm
• Prohibited AI Systems – AI technologies that are banned under the Act
• High-Risk AI Systems – AI applications with strict compliance requirements
• General Purpose AI (GPAI) – Understanding its regulatory impact
• Obligations & Applicability – Who must comply with the AI Act?
• Exempted Areas – AI systems not covered under the regulation
• Implementation Timeline – When will the EU AI Act take full effect?

This episode is essential for legal professionals, AI developers, business leaders, and anyone interested in AI governance and compliance.
