Reach EU_AI_ACT_2024_1689 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
EU Regulation 2024/1689 (the AI Act) is the first comprehensive AI law — a risk-tiered regulation reaching anyone who places an AI system on the EU market, puts one into service in the EU, or whose output is used in the EU. Penalties reach €35 million or 7% of global turnover for prohibited-practice violations; €15 million or 3% for high-risk non-compliance. Obligations land in waves: prohibited practices and AI literacy from February 2025; general-purpose AI model rules from August 2025; full high-risk system obligations from August 2026. High-risk systems (Annex III: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, justice, democratic processes) require a registered AI system, risk-management process, data-governance evidence, technical documentation, logging, human oversight, accuracy/robustness/cybersecurity testing, and a quality-management system. Quick Policy seeds the AI governance, AI risk, transparency, and human-oversight policies the Act requires and links them to ISO 42001 + 42005 for a defensible audit trail. Quick Policy maps EU_AI_ACT_2024_1689 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.
