Complying with the EU AI Act

If you’re looking to develop, deploy or use an AI system in the European Union (EU), you must be aware of the AI Act’s requirements and understand how they might apply to you.

The European Union’s EU AI Act is a legislative framework designed to shape the AI governance landscape by addressing risks linked to the development, commercialisation and use of AI technologies.

Recognising the potential challenges and opportunities this presents for New Zealand innovators, we have developed resources to help you understand and implement the Act’s requirements, as part of developing your own AI governance framework.
