AI Act Literacy Requirements and Prohibited Practices

The Artificial Intelligence Regulation (“AI Act”) came into force at EU level on 1 August 2024. Generally speaking, an EU Regulation becomes effective across all EU member states once it has been passed into law – unlike a Directive no transposing legislation is required. In the case of the AI Act however, due to its size and complexity, it is being implemented across the EU on a phased basis with different elements being introduced at different times.
