AI readiness & compliance 
according to the EU AI Regulation

Initial situation and regulatory challenge

Artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into operational processes – from automated decision support and data analysis to generative AI applications. With the EU AI Act, European legislators are creating a binding, risk-based legal framework for the use of AI systems for the first time. Companies are thus faced with the challenge of classifying existing and planned AI applications in a timely manner, meeting regulatory requirements and avoiding liability and reputational risks. Ultimately, the responsibility for the compliant use of AI lies with the management.

There is particular uncertainty regarding the following questions:

• Are we already using AI systems – consciously or unconsciously?
• What legal and organisational obligations arise from this?
• Are there liability, financial penalty or reputational risks?
• Are governance, controls and documentation sufficient?

Without a structured approach, there is a risk that AI applications will be incorrectly classified in regulatory terms or that necessary measures will be taken too late.
