Why Now

The Regulatory Landscape Is Changing

EU AI Act

In force since August 2024. Prohibited practices have been banned since February 2025, general-purpose AI model rules apply from August 2025, transparency rules from August 2026 and high-risk obligations from 2 December 2027. Fines reach €35M or 7% of global turnover.

UK AI Regulation

The UK's pro-innovation regulatory approach still requires organisations to demonstrate responsible AI practices. FCA, ICO, and sector regulators are all developing AI-specific guidance.

Global Standards

ISO 42001 AI Management System standard, NIST AI RMF, and growing ESG requirements for AI transparency are becoming baseline expectations for enterprise AI deployment worldwide.
