Adopted after intensive trilogue negotiations in December 2023 and published in the Official Journal in August 2024, the Act follows a risk-based approach that categorises AI systems into four tiers: <strong>unacceptable risk</strong>, <strong>high risk</strong>, <strong>limited risk</strong>, and <strong>minimal risk</strong>. The graduated framework imposes obligations proportionate to the level of risk an AI system presents to health, safety, and fundamental rights.</p>
