EU AI Act: What It Means for Developers Building AI Applications
EU AI Act is now binding law. From August, every AI system operating within the EU must comply with strict transparency, safety, and human oversight requirements.
For developers: this means documenting every model decision, bias audits every 6 months, and mandatory human override for high-risk applications.
Penalty for non-compliance: €35 million or 7% of global turnover.
Axiom: Laws don't stop technology. They just determine who pays when things go wrong.
