Or 7% of your global revenue. Whichever is bigger.
That's what the EU AI Act can cost you - and it's not a future problem. Parts of it are already law:
→ "Unacceptable risk" AI: banned since Feb 2025
→ General-purpose AI rules: in force since Aug 2025
→ Transparency duties: live August 2, 2026
The Act sorts every AI system into four tiers - from "just add a disclosure" to "banned outright." Where yours land decides whether compliance is a checkbox or a rebuild.
Most leaders assume they're in the safe tier. Most are wrong.
Hiring tools. Credit scoring. Anything touching someone's livelihood → high-risk.
Good news: the EU just extended the heaviest high-risk obligations to December 2027.
Bad news: the clock on everything else is already running.
