From August 2026, strict rules will apply to AI systems classified as &#8220;high-risk&#8221;, such as tools used for recruiting, credit assessments, or critical infrastructure. Companies that violate these rules face heavy penalties of up to \u20ac15 million or 3% of global turnover.\n\nWhile the EU AI Act may initially seem like an obstacle for companies, those who take proactive action can even turn risk assessment into a competitive advantage. Through cooperation, clear planning, and leveraging EU funding opportunities, SMEs can avoid penalties and open up new business opportunities.\n\n&#8220;Systematically analysing training data and its biases, as required by the AI Act, will also help small and medium-sized enterprises to develop better products in the long term,&#8221; emphasises cep digital expert Anselm K\u00fcsters. &#8220;Companies that invest in data quality and risk assessment now will ultimately develop more accurate AI systems \u2013 a significant advantage for their reputation, especially once the hype surrounding AI subsides.&#8221;\n\nWritten by Dr. Anselm K\u00fcsters, LL.M.\n\nRead the entire article here:  \n\nhttps:\/\/www.cep.eu\/eu-topics\/details\/smes-worldwide-must-prepare-now-for-europes-new-ambitious-ai-regulation.html#:~:text=describes%20these%20opportunities.-,cepInput,the%20hype%20surrounding%20AI%20subsides.%22","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract: The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) is gradually coming into force and poses significant challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
