The journey towards a comprehensive regulatory framework for AI within the EU is a pivotal development in the digital age.
This provisional timeline serves as a crucial guide to understanding the phased implementation of the AI Act, marking significant milestones from its initial agreement to the application of specific rules concerning various categories of AI systems.

These deadlines will need a great deal of preparation time and the rush to regulate we witnessed for GDPR won’t work for this legislation. The time to act is now.
