EU AI ACT

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) applies directly across all member states. Prohibitions on unacceptable-risk AI systems have been in force since 2 February 2025; GPAI model rules since 2 August 2025. High-risk AI obligations are due from 2 August 2026, subject to the Digital Omnibus proposal which may defer enforcement. For the full implementation timeline, governance structure, and current status, see the European Union overview.

The Ministry of Electronic Governance coordinates national implementation. Designation of market surveillance and notifying authorities has been delayed by political transitions. Nine fundamental rights authorities are listed in the Commission consolidated register.
