The EU AI Act: Risk-Based AI Regulation
The EU AI Act isn't a blanket ban but a risk-based framework. It sorts AI into tiers—from unacceptable to minimal risk—and applies rules proportionally, affecting any company with AI users in the EU. The footgun is assuming it only applies to EU companies.
The EU AI Act is a risk-based legal framework, not a blanket ban. It categorizes AI systems into four tiers: unacceptable (banned), high-risk (strict compliance), limited-risk (transparency rules), and minimal-risk (no new rules). This affects any company deploying AI for users in the EU, regardless of where the company is based. The key footgun is ignoring its extraterritorial reach; if you have EU users, you must comply.
