In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, host Punit Bhatia explores the EU AI Act— why it matters, what it requires, and how it impacts your business, even outside the EU.


You will also hear about the Act’s risk-based approach, the four categories of AI systems (unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risk), and the penalties for non-compliance, which can be as high as 7% of global turnover or €35 million.


Just like GDPR, the EU AI Act has global reach—so if your company offers AI-based products or services to EU citizens, it applies to you. Listen in to understand the requirements and discover how to turn AI compliance into an opportunity for building trust, demonstrating responsibility, and staying ahead of the competition.
