European Union: Entry into force with grace period of AI Act including cybersecurity requirement for "high-risk AI systems"
Description
Entry into force with grace period of AI Act including cybersecurity requirement for "high-risk AI systems"
On 1 August 2024, the regulation laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act) enters into force, 20 days following its publication in the Official Journal, with a grace period on its implementation. The Act specifies that high-risk AI systems must be designed in a way that achieves an appropriate level of accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity. High-risk AI systems should further be designed so that they are resilient to third-party attempts to alter their use or performance, for example, through manipulation of datasets, inputs designed to trigger mistakes, model flaws, model poisoning, and confidentiality attacks. The Act is generally implemented on 2 August 2026 after the lapse of the grace period, though some sections are subject to variable implementation periods. For high-risk AI systems as defined by Article 6(1), the Act only applies from 2 August 2027.
