What EU AI Act deadlines should I prepare for?

Three key dates. February 2025: prohibited AI practices (social scoring, emotion recognition at work) are already banned. August 2025: rules for general-purpose AI models (like GPT integrations) take effect. August 2026: full requirements for high-risk AI systems kick in, including conformity assessments, technical documentation, and human oversight. If you deploy AI in the EU or serve EU customers, preparation should start now.

How do I know if my AI system is high-risk under the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act defines high-risk AI in Annex III. It includes AI used in hiring and recruitment, credit scoring, insurance pricing, medical devices, critical infrastructure, law enforcement, and education. If your AI system makes or influences decisions that significantly affect people, it likely qualifies. We perform risk classification assessments to determine your obligations and build a compliance plan specific to your systems.

What does an AI security audit cover?

We test your AI systems for prompt injection, data leakage, model output manipulation, access control gaps, and adversarial inputs. You receive a report with risk ratings, proof-of-concept exploits where applicable, and prioritized remediation steps. Our methodology follows OWASP AI Top 10 and covers both technical vulnerabilities and compliance gaps under the EU AI Act.

What is prompt injection and why should I care?

Prompt injection is when attackers manipulate your AI system's inputs to override its instructions or extract sensitive data. It is the #1 vulnerability in LLM applications (OWASP AI Top 10). If your product uses ChatGPT, Claude, or any LLM to process user input, you are likely vulnerable. We implement input validation, output filtering, and defense-in-depth strategies to block these attacks.

How long does an EU AI Act compliance project take?

It depends on scope. A risk classification assessment for a single AI system takes 2-3 weeks. A full compliance program for an organization with multiple AI systems typically runs 2-4 months, covering documentation, technical controls, human oversight protocols, and audit preparation. We recommend starting at least 6 months before your applicable deadline.

Can you help with both GDPR and EU AI Act compliance?

Yes. GDPR and the EU AI Act overlap significantly when AI processes personal data. We handle data flow mapping, consent management, automated data subject access requests, decision explainability, and the documentation required by both regulations. Many of our clients need both, and we build systems that satisfy requirements from both frameworks in a single implementation.

EU AI Act high-risk deadline: August 2, 2026. We build AI that passes.
