EU Data & AI Acts
EU AI Act
Artificial Intelligence Act
A risk-tiered regime for AI systems: prohibited practices, obligations for high-risk systems (risk management, data governance, technical documentation, logging, human oversight, accuracy and robustness), transparency duties, and a separate track for general-purpose AI models.
Its data governance article is the one that lands on data teams: training, validation and test data sets must be relevant, sufficiently representative, and as far as possible free of errors and complete. ISO/IEC 42001 and the forthcoming CEN-CENELEC standards are how conformity gets demonstrated.
