No matter where you are, complying with the #AIAct is quickly becoming a top business priority. If you are looking for a decisive first step, feel free to start with our new #AI Act Applicability Assessment Tool.

If you want to know what Attomic Kitten's rendition of 'Eternal Flame', Robbie Williams' & Nicole Kidman' 'Somethin' Stupid', and Eminen's 'Love The Way You Lie' have in common, watch my brief SCC history lesson for @privacylaws of this Summer.

An historic day for global #AI governance. With the EU #AI Act entering into force today, the focus is on the future deadlines for compliance.

Assessing the level of risk presented by an #AI system or model is the starting point of an #AI Act compliance strategy.

Today is the day to listen to our podcast on #NIS2 as ‘digital service providers’ (cloud providers, marketplaces) & ‘operators of essential services’ (rail, airlines, electricity, oil & gas) must notify availability incidents with a significant impact. https://t.co/uQYy9yNVsF

They are not wrong. 👇

[EDPB @EU_EDPB]

In its latest plenary, the EDPB adopted a statement on DPAs role in the 🇪🇺#AIAct
🎯DPAs have experience & expertise in dealing with the impact of #AI on #FundamentalRights, governments should designate them as Market Surveillance Authorities

Our simple take on what today’s #AIAct publication means in practice.

[Eduardo Ustaran @EUstaran]

The 🇪🇺 #AIAct is officially here. Basically 2 August 2026 is to the #AIAct what 25 May 2018 was to the #GDPR. Like back then, the time available to prepare for compliance seems long but the mountain to climb is considerably higher.

5️⃣Strategically, the UK is ideally placed to lead the global debate on how to get digital regulation (data protection, cybersecurity & #AI in particular) right, and act as a bridge and a catalyst for all good ideas to flow. Exciting times ahead.

[Eduardo Ustaran @EUstaran]

As the new 🇬🇧Government put their head down and get on with the business of running the country, the approach to data protection and #AI regulation will be crucial for growth and more. Mini-🧵

[Eduardo Ustaran @EUstaran]

5️⃣Good #AI regulatory policy will actively support its development by focusing on promoting good outcomes for all. Whether for that you need the level of prescription & complexity of the 🇪🇺#AIAct can be debated, but a flexible risk-based approach is essential for effectiveness.

[Eduardo Ustaran @EUstaran]

@1Br0wn @timhwang Possibly not, but we should give the new team the chance to generate some goodwill and see where all those intelligent minds meet.
