Event Agenda
Part 1: The Four EU AI Risk Tiers (15 Minutes)Every builder must determine their system's regulatory category. Non-compliance carries financial penalties up to 35 million euros or 7% of global annual turnover.
- Unacceptable Risk: Social scoring, subliminal behavioural manipulation, emotion recognition in workplaces/schools. Banned completely in the EU. Systems must not be developed or deployed.
- High Risk: AI in recruitment, credit scoring, medical devices, educational admissions, critical infrastructure. Heavily regulated. Requires risk management, high-quality data auditing, logging, and human oversight.
- Limited Risk: Chatbots, AI coding assistants, synthetic media generation, deepfakes. Active enforcement from August 2. Mandatory transparency disclosures and content watermarking.
- Minimal Risk: Spam filters, AI video game NPC behaviour, basic search and recommendation engines. No mandatory regulatory burden under the AI Act; voluntary codes of conduct apply.
Part 2: Active Enforcement vs. Future Milestones (20 Minutes)
- Currently Enforced Requirements: User Interaction Disclosures: Chatbots and interactive agents must explicitly notify users that they are interacting with an AI system.
- Mandatory AI Literacy (Article 4): Immediate statutory enforcement requiring all organisations deploying AI systems to provide documented, role-specific literacy training to their entire workforce.
- Future Developments and Deadlines: AI Regulatory Sandboxes: National authorities must establish operational AI Sandboxes, giving startups a controlled framework to test high-risk models under legal guidance before commercial launch. Full High-Risk System Compliance: High-risk standalone AI applications and safety components transition into mandatory compliance oversight over upcoming regulatory windows.
