Six months before the full implementation of the EU AI Act, the first global regulatory framework on artificial intelligence, companies operating in Europe are preparing to face new and strict obligations regarding governance, risk management, and control of their AI systems. According to the specialized firm Modulos, there are six key areas that organizations must address to ensure compliance with the regulation and avoid legal, economic, and reputational consequences. The European Union is committed to developing artificial intelligence focused on trust, transparency, and the protection of fundamental rights. While the United States leads in innovation and China in scalability, Europe is strengthening its regulatory approach with the full application of the EU AI Act, scheduled for August 2, 2026. From that date, most obligations of the new legal framework will be enforceable, especially for AI systems classified as high-risk. Companies will need to demonstrate robust risk management, rigorous data governance, effective human oversight, and high standards of traceability and technical documentation. Non-compliance can result in significant economic penalties and a loss of trust from customers, partners, and investors. In this context, Modulos specialists, experts in AI governance and risks, highlight six essential measures that companies must implement before the regulation comes into effect.
