The AI Act compliance countdown begins


The landmark AI Act takes effect next month.

The AI Act bans application uses “that threaten citizens’ rights,” like biometric categorization to deduce information like sexual orientation or religion, or the untargeted scraping of faces from the internet or security camera footage. Nine months after the law kicks in, on May 2nd, 2025, developers will have codes of practice, a set of rules that outlines what legal compliance looks like: what benchmarks they need to hit; key performance indicators; specific transparency requirements; and more. This risk level includes applications integrated into infrastructure, employment, essential services like banking and healthcare, and the justice system.
