First enforcement deadline August 2, 2026
US companies using AI for EU employees or customers are already in scope. Transparency obligations under Art. 50 become enforceable in weeks — not years.

The EU AI Act applies to you.
Even if you're based in the US.

The EU AI Act has extraterritorial reach. If your AI systems are used by employees, customers, or users in Europe — you're subject to it. Violations carry fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover.

Most US compliance teams face the same three problems:

  • The regulation is 100+ pages of dense legal text
  • It's unclear which systems are in scope and at what risk level
  • There's no clear action plan for a US company acting as a Deployer
€35M
or 7% of global turnover — max fine for prohibited practices
