Event Agenda
Part 1: The Four EU AI Risk Tiers (15 Minutes)
Every builder and deployer must determine their system's regulatory category. Non-compliance carries financial penalties up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover.
- Unacceptable Risk: Social scoring, subliminal behavioral manipulation, and workplace/school emotion recognition. Banned completely in the EU.
- High Risk: AI in recruitment, credit scoring, medical devices, educational admissions, and critical infrastructure. Requires risk management systems, high-quality data auditing, logging, and mandatory human oversight.
- Limited Risk: Chatbots, AI coding assistants, synthetic media generation, and deepfakes. Subject to active enforcement requiring mandatory transparency disclosures and content watermarking.
- Minimal Risk: Spam filters, AI video game NPC behavior, and basic 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.
- AI Literacy: EU AI Act Article 4 statutory literacy training obligations for staff operating AI systems.
Future Developments and Deadlines
- AI Regulatory Sandboxes: EU Member States must establish operational AI Sandboxes, offering startups a controlled framework to test high-risk models under legal guidance before commercial launch.
- Full High-Risk System Compliance: Standalone high-risk AI applications and safety components transition into mandatory compliance oversight over upcoming regulatory windows.
Part 3: Practical Takeaway: The AI Compliance Toolkit (20 Minutes)
Attendees will receive an actionable technical and operational framework:
- Risk Classification Decision Tree: A clear logic flow to categorize your product’s regulatory tier and determine applicable requirements.
