EU AI Act – the most important points at a glance

  • Copyright and data: AI systems must be trained with data from verified sources. Results generated by AI are not protected by copyright under EU law. 
  • Data protection: Compliance with the GDPR is still essential. The AI ​​Act strengthens transparency and limits the scope of autonomous action by AI. 
  • Trade secrets: Generative AI poses risks for sensitive business information. Companies are required to protect their data against unauthorized access in accordance with strict security guidelines.
