The EU AI Act aims to provide a legal framework for developing, deploying, and using AI technologies within the European Union, emphasizing safety, transparency, and ethical considerations. It is a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence that includes specific requirements for AI systems of different risk categories within the EU.
