About the Book

What if the next great innovation is not a technology, but a law? As artificial intelligence continues its relentless march into every corner of our lives, from the mundane to the mission critical, a new and powerful force is quietly taking shape. The European Union's AI Act is not just another piece of legislation; it is a landmark regulation poised to redefine the future of technology, business, and society itself. Are you prepared for the seismic shift it represents? For many, the answer is a resounding no, and the clock is ticking.

The rapid advancement of AI presents a landscape of unprecedented opportunity, but it also creates a minefield of regulatory uncertainty. Businesses, developers, and innovators are navigating a world where the rules of the game are being rewritten in real time. The EU AI Act, with its complex requirements and far reaching implications, can feel like an insurmountable barrier. The risk of non compliance is not just a matter of fines; it is a threat to reputation, market access, and the very viability of future projects. Existing resources are often dense, legalistic, and disconnected from the practical realities of building and deploying AI systems. They tell you what the law says, but not what it means for you and your work.

This is where 'EU AI Act: AI Regulation in Practice' steps in. This is not another dense legal textbook. It is a practical, actionable guide designed for the builders, the innovators, and the leaders who are shaping our AI powered future. The book demystifies the complexities of the AI Act, breaking it down into clear, understandable language. It offers a clear framework for understanding your obligations, assessing your risks, and implementing a robust compliance strategy. Through concrete examples and real world case studies, you will learn how to navigate the intricacies of the regulation, from data governance and algorithmic transparency to conformity assessments and post market monitoring.

Bjørn V. Hauge is not just an observer of the AI revolution; he is one of its architects. As the founder of Veriton, a pioneering company in the field of AI verification, he has been at the forefront of the quest to build safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI systems. His work as an inventor and an expert in AI regulation has given him a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. He has a deep understanding of both the technology and the legal frameworks that govern it, making him the ideal guide to help you navigate this new and complex terrain.

'EU AI Act: AI Regulation in Practice' is a comprehensive resource that will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in the age of regulated AI. You will discover how to classify your AI systems according to the Act's risk based approach, and what that means for your development and deployment processes. The book provides detailed checklists and practical templates that you can use to streamline your compliance efforts. You will learn how to conduct a thorough risk assessment, what to include in your technical documentation, and how to prepare for a conformity assessment.

By the time you finish this book, the EU AI Act will no longer be a source of confusion or anxiety. You will have the confidence and the clarity to lead your organization through this period of profound transformation. You will be able to not only ensure compliance but also to leverage the principles of trustworthy AI to build better products, strengthen customer relationships, and unlock new opportunities for growth. The question is, are you ready to build?
