What is the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act is the European Union's law on artificial intelligence. It entered into force in August 2024 and applies in stages: prohibited AI practices have been banned since February 2025, and rules for general-purpose AI models have applied since August 2025. The obligations for high-risk systems were postponed in 2026 and now apply from December 2027 and August 2028 respectively. For most small and medium-sized businesses, transparency obligations and the AI literacy of their own staff matter most. prexma helps set up AI projects in line with the rules from the start.
