Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how organisations innovate, compete, and deliver value. But with its rapid adoption come new risks: bias, opacity, accountability gaps, and security concerns. To address these, the EU has introduced the AI Act – the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation.
The AI Act applies a risk-based framework, placing stricter obligations on high-risk AI systems (such as those used in healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure). At the same time, organisations must continue to comply with related frameworks such as GDPR and the EU Data Act, ensuring responsible use of data alongside AI adoption.
For organisations, this means building AI systems that are not only innovative but also trustworthy, transparent, and compliant. The regulatory landscape requires structured governance, robust risk assessments, and ongoing oversight of AI systems.
1) Prohibited AI practices (e.g., social scoring, manipulative techniques).
2) High-risk AI systems require risk management, documentation, human oversight, and monitoring.
3) Transparency obligations for AI that interacts with humans or generates content.
4) Conformity assessments and CE marking for certain AI applications.
1) Ensures personal data used in AI systems is lawfully collected, processed, and protected.
2) Requires data minimisation, consent, and transparency.
3) Mandates Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing.
1) Governs access, sharing, and portability of data.
2) Seeks to prevent data monopolies and ensure fairness in data use.
3) Impacts how organisations manage datasets that feed AI models.
AI regulation is complex and rapidly evolving. At GRC.ie, we bridge the gap between innovation and compliance:
With GRC.ie, you can embrace AI confidently – knowing your systems are not only compliant, but also responsible, transparent, and trusted.
