Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key tool of digital transformation. From healthcare and transportation to human resources, AI is changing the way we live and work. However, with its growing influence comes responsibility. That’s why the European Union has adopted the AI Act – the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for regulating artificial intelligence.

What is the AI Act?

The AI Act (EU Regulation No. 2024/1689) came into effect on August 1, 2024, and its rules will be implemented gradually until 2027.

Its goals are to:

• Ensure the safe and ethical use of AI

• Protect the fundamental rights of citizens

• Support innovation and trust in technology

According to the regulation, AI systems are divided into four risk categories: prohibited, high-risk, limited risk, and minimal risk.

Each category has its own obligations – from outright bans to requirements for transparency and audits.

AI Development and Implementation: New Challenges for Companies

From a legal perspective, it is no longer enough to simply “program” AI.

Companies must:

• Assess the risk level of the system before bringing it to market

• Ensure the quality and non-discriminatory nature of training data

• Implement human oversight over AI decisions

• Maintain technical documentation and records of system operation

• Inform users when they are interacting with AI

For high-risk systems (such as those used in employment, healthcare, or public administration), these requirements are even stricter.

MAYAUY: Our Vision of Responsible Artificial Intelligence

At MAYAUY, we believe that technology should serve people—not the other way around. That’s why:

• We assess the risks of AI systems according to the AI Act already during the development phase

• We create transparent and explainable algorithms that respect users’ rights

• We implement ethical and legal audits before every AI solution deployment

• We train our team in AI literacy, as required by the regulation starting February 2025

Our ambition is not only to meet legal requirements, but to set the standard for trustworthy AI in practice.

Conclusion

The AI Act is not an obstacle to innovation—it is an opportunity to build technologies people can trust. At MAYAUY, we are proud to be among the companies that have embraced this challenge and are actively turning it into a competitive advantage. That’s why our offer also includes an AI Law package.
