Program #2: Navigate the EU AI Act

A Comprehensive Certification Program for Foreign Businesses in Europe

The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), effective August 1, 2024, represents a significant regulatory shift for businesses using artificial intelligence (AI) within the EU. This landmark legislation introduces stringent compliance requirements, impacting how companies develop, deploy, and govern AI systems. For businesses operating in or entering the European market, understanding and adapting to these regulations is not just a necessity—it is a competitive imperative. 

 The **Certified Expert on the EU AI Act Program**, led by Steinbeis Augsburg Business School, offers a specialized training solution tailored for professionals. This program provides in-depth knowledge of the EU AI Act, practical tools for compliance, and strategies to ensure AI is implemented ethically and responsibly, with full simultaneous Chinese translation for seamless participation. 

Six Key Challenges and Opportunities Under the EU AI Act 

**1. Financial Impacts on BRICS+ Businesses

Adhering to the EU AI Act introduces significant costs for companies coming from BRICS countries. For instance, Hong Kong-based AI startup Dayta AI projects cost increases of 20% to 40%, primarily due to stricter data quality and representativeness requirements. These added costs necessitate careful selection of training data and a re-evaluation of existing AI workflows. 

**2. Competitiveness in the European Market** 

While compliance ensures access to the lucrative EU market, the regulatory burden poses competitiveness challenges. Unlike the relatively unregulated AI markets in the US and China, the EU’s stringent rules require significant adaptation. However, companies that achieve compliance can gain trust and a competitive edge in the European landscape. 

**3. Specific Requirements for AI Systems** 

The EU AI Act categorizes AI systems into three risk tiers: 

– **Prohibited Systems**: Includes AI used for social scoring, banned for its ethical and privacy concerns. 

– **High-Risk Systems**: Subject to rigorous requirements, including risk management, transparency, and compliance certification. 

– **Low-Risk Systems**: These require minimal oversight but must meet basic transparency guidelines. 

Understanding these categories is critical for businesses to align their operations with EU standards. 

**4. Compliance Timelines and Transition Periods** 

The phased rollout of the EU AI Act gives businesses time to adapt, with key milestones such as: 

– **February 2, 2025**: Prohibition of certain AI practices and enforcement of general provisions. 

– **May 2, 2025**: Introduction of Codes of Practice to assist early adopters. 

Full compliance is expected by 2030, requiring companies to prepare now for a smooth transition. 

**5. Risks of Non-Compliance** 

Penalties for non-compliance are severe, including fines of up to €30 million or 6% of global annual revenue, whichever is greater. These strict penalties underscore the need for rigorous adherence to the regulations. 

**6. Steps for Ensuring Compliance** 

BRICS+ businesses can prepare for the EU AI Act by: 

– **Conducting Risk Assessments**: Classify AI systems based on risk tiers. 

– **Enhancing Transparency**: Ensure systems are explainable to users. 

– **Improving Data Quality**: Meet EU standards for training data. 

– **Maintaining Documentation**: Keep detailed records of AI development and deployment. 

Why This Program is Essential for AI Professionals

 The **Certified Expert on the EU AI Act Program** addresses these challenges by offering a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip participants with the expertise to navigate the complexities of the regulation. 

Program Benefits

  • Master the legal framework and requirements of the EU AI Act. 
  • Learn to implement AI responsibly, ensuring ethical and societal considerations are met.
