EU AI Act
The first comprehensive dedicated law globally for regulating AI, adopted by the European Union in 2024. It employs risk-tiered regulation, imposes transparency obligations on general-purpose AI and foundation models, and provides for fines of up to 7% of global revenue.
Core Facts
The EU AI Act classifies medical auxiliary diagnosis systems as high-risk AI systems and requires verifiable decision-making rationale to be provided.
Penalties for violations of the EU AI Act can reach up to 7% of global revenue or €35 million.
Both the EU AI Act and China's Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services impose compliance requirements on data processing activities by enterprises using AI tools.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The EU AI Act requires disclosure of training data summaries, but does not directly resolve the issue of copyright licensing.
The EU AI Act has classified deepfake voices as a category requiring explicit disclosure.
The EU AI Act mainly relies on administrative penalties, with fines of up to 7% of global revenue, and does not directly authorize criminal prosecution, and whether data scraping itself is illegal is still left to each member state's copyright law.
The EU AI Act requires transparency labeling for AI-generated content, but does not make explicit provisions regarding data attribution for watermarking technology.
The EU AI Act uses a training compute threshold of 10^25 FLOP as one of the benchmarks for determining frontier models.
Article 12 of the EU AI Act requires that event data automatically captured by the system includes activation and deactivation records, input data characteristics, and output results.
Companies that violate the EU AI Act can face fines of up to 3% of their global turnover.
The EU AI Act explicitly prohibits most real-time public biometric identification scenarios.
During the legislative process of the EU AI Act, safety researchers, open-source advocates, and commercial interests each held their own views, causing the regulatory framework to be revised multiple times.
The EU AI Act's prohibitions are primarily aimed at specific application scenarios (such as social credit scoring and real-time biometric surveillance), rather than at systems as a whole above a certain capability threshold.
