EU AI Act Compliance is Coming
Companies Are Unprepared

The Regulatory Tsunami:

  • February 2025: Prohibited AI practices banned (already in effect)
  • August 2026: High-risk AI requirements mandatory (18 months away)
  • August 2027: Full compliance required across all AI systems

Massive Financial Risk

Fines up to €35 million or 7% of global annual revenue; this is a board-level, "bet-the-company" risk.

Extreme Complexity

A 131-page legal text (plus thousands of pages of related guidance) with complex risk tiers; the rules are new, and "experts" are rare and expensive.

Manual, Error-Prone Work

Manual legal consultancy: €50k-€500k per system, 6-12 months. In-house teams lack EU AI Act expertise, are slow, and expensive.
