EU AI Act Enforcement Timeline
Key compliance milestones from February 2025 through August 2030. Know your deadlines.
Prohibited AI Practices
Ban on AI systems posing unacceptable risk: social scoring, manipulative AI, real-time remote biometric identification in public spaces, emotion recognition in workplace and education.
AI Literacy Requirements
Organizations deploying or operating AI systems must ensure their staff have sufficient AI literacy. General-purpose AI (GPAI) model providers must comply with transparency and documentation rules.
Main Compliance Deadline
Full enforcement for high-risk AI systems. Risk management, data governance, technical documentation, conformity assessments, EU database registration, and human oversight all required.
General-Purpose AI Full Compliance
Extended deadline for AI systems embedded in regulated products (medical devices, vehicles, machinery) that require third-party conformity assessments under existing EU legislation.
Existing Systems Transition
Final deadline for AI systems already on the market before August 2026. All pre-existing high-risk AI systems must be brought into full compliance.
