As of February 2nd, 2025, the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act’s (AI Act) prohibitions of unacceptable AI practices have taken effect. As AI adoption grows, businesses must understand these prohibitions and ensure compliance. The AI Act follows a risk-based approach, banning AI systems that conflict with fundamental rights and Union values.
Unacceptable AI practices include systems that manipulate users, exploit vulnerable populations, and infringe on privacy. Industries such as social media, gaming, healthcare, and financial services, and also law enforcement are under scrutiny due to potential discrimination and data misuse.
Organizations in these sectors must review their AI systems to comply with the new regulations.
To prepare, businesses should conduct AI risk assessments, establish governance policies, and implement training programs. Staying informed and fostering ethical AI practices will help organizations align with the EU's evolving legal landscape.
