EU AI Act: What Changes for You

The EU AI Act is the first horizontal regulation for artificial intelligence. It defines risk tiers for AI systems and mandates controls around data, transparency, and human oversight. For high-risk systems, the Act requires ongoing monitoring, incident reporting, and a plan for remediation.

Know Your Risk Class

Organisations must map each AI system to the Act's taxonomy. In practice that means:

• Cataloguing every AI system, its purpose, and stakeholders.
• Assessing impact on fundamental rights, safety, or critical infrastructure.
• Applying stricter controls when the system supports biometric identification, employment, education, or public services.

Build Compliance-by-Design

Compliance is not a document, it is a workflow. GenShield AI helps teams:

• Automate technical documentation and maintain a living model register.
• Attach data provenance and testing evidence to each deployment.
• Detect drifts or deviations before they trigger a regulatory incident.

Operationalise Monitoring

High-risk AI must be monitored in production. Teams need continuous visibility into:

• Data quality, bias, and fairness metrics.
• Security events such as adversarial probes, misuse, or data leakage.
• Human oversight workflows and escalation paths.

GenShield AI unifies compliance evidence, adversarial testing, and runtime monitoring so organisations can prove trustworthiness without slowing innovation.
