À propos de cet audio
The Act’s first teeth showed back in February, when the ban on “unacceptable risk” AI systems kicked in. Think biometric mass surveillance or social scoring: verboten on European soil. This early enforcement was less about catching companies off guard and more about setting a moral and legal line in the sand. But the real suspense lies ahead, because in just two months, general-purpose AI rules begin to bite. That’s right—August 2025 brings new obligations for models like GPT-4 and its ilk, the kind of systems slippery enough to slip into everything from email filters to autonomous vehicles.
Providers of these GPAI models—OpenAI, Google, European upstarts—now face an unprecedented level of scrutiny and paperwork. They must keep technical documentation up to date, publish summaries of their training data, and crucially, prove they’re not violating EU copyright law every time they ingest another corpus of European literature. If an AI model poses “systemic risk”—a phrase that keeps risk officers up at night—there are even tougher checks: mandatory evaluations, real systemic risk mitigation, and incident reporting that could rival what financial services endure.
Every EU member state now has marching orders to appoint a national AI watchdog—an independent authority to ensure national compliance. Meanwhile, the newly minted AI Office in Brussels is springing into action, drafting the forthcoming Code of Practice and, more enticingly, running the much-anticipated AI Act Service Desk, a one-stop-shop for the panicked, the curious, and the visionary seeking guidance.
And the fireworks don’t stop there. The European Commission unveiled its “AI Continent Action Plan” just in April, signaling that Europe doesn’t just want safe AI, but also powerful, homegrown models, top-tier data infrastructure, and, mercifully, a simplification of these daunting rules. This isn’t protectionism; it’s a chess move to make Europe an AI power and standard-setter.
But make no mistake—the world is watching. Whether the EU AI Act becomes a model for global tech governance or a regulatory cautionary tale, one thing’s certain: the age of unregulated AI is officially over in Europe. The act’s true test—its ability to foster trust without stifling innovation—will be written over the next 12 months, not by lawmakers, but by the engineers, entrepreneurs, and citizens living under its new logic.
