The EU AI Act, which came into force in August 2024, represents a significant milestone in the European Union's efforts to regulate AI usage and enhance transparency. Although it is an EU regulation, its extraterritorial application means that U.S. companies deploying AI within the EU or offering AI-related services to EU customers must comply.
This webinar will explore the implications of the EU AI Act for U.S. businesses, focusing on key sectors such as healthcare, employment, financial transactions, litigation, and general corporate compliance.
This webinar will provide practical, real-world guidance on how U.S. businesses are responding to the EU AI Act. It will feature insights from companies actively implementing the law, including those that are part of the EU AI Pact.
Expert panelists will discuss the operational and legal challenges they’re facing, and the concrete steps they’re taking—from policy changes and compliance strategies to contract updates—to meet the Act’s requirements.
