background of the EU AI act

The eu ai act represents a comprehensive regulation that specifies harmonized regulations for AI systems. Depending on their risk classification, it regulates these systems from fully prohibited applications to those that must meet specific requirements. Innovation-promoting guidelines apply to AI systems with high risk that must meet strict documentation, monitoring and quality requirements. Providers and users of these systems are responsible for fulfilling the justified requirements.

The obligation to transparency also extends to AI systems that generate synthetic content. Affected persons should always be clearly informed that they interact with a AI system. This obligation is particularly important to promote the trust of the public in advanced technologies.
