The European Union has passed the EU AI Act, a comprehensive piece of legislation aimed at regulating artificial intelligence systems within the EU. The regulation seeks to establish a harmonized framework for the development, deployment, and use of AI technologies across various industry verticals while ensuring compliance with fundamental rights and values. The act applies to AI systems placed in the EU market or used within the EU, categorizes them based on risk level, and requires high-risk AI systems to adhere to strict requirements. Companies will need to ensure data quality, transparency, and privacy, develop or enhance their data governance frameworks, and conduct risk assessments for their AI systems. The act also establishes an oversight mechanism and enforcement measures to ensure compliance, including penalties for non-compliance. Fivetran, a leading data integration platform, can help organizations align with the EU AI Act by providing scalable control solutions, top-tier security, and complete visibility into the entire data movement process.
