Precisely because AI has quietly found its way into business processes, many entrepreneurs underestimate its legal implications. With Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, better known as the AI Act, the European Union has introduced a comprehensive regulatory framework setting out clear rules for anyone developing or using AI. That framework has since been adjusted by the Digital Omnibus on AI (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744), which introduces a number of targeted changes to make compliance with the AI Act more practical and proportionate, especially for smaller businesses.
