TECHNICAL DEFINITION

The EU AI Act is a landmark regulatory framework by the European Union establishing a risk-based approach to AI governance, categorizing AI systems by risk level (minimal, limited, high, unacceptable) and imposing corresponding compliance obligations, including transparency, data quality, and human oversight, to protect fundamental rights and safety.

BACKGROUND

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
