On 21 May 2024, the Council of the European Union approved the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (the “AI Act”). This is the final stage in the legislative process and comes after the EU Parliament voted to adopt the legislation on 13 March 2024. This final vote clears the path for the formal signing of the legislation and its publication in the Official Journal of the EU in the coming weeks. The AI Act will then enter into force 20 days after such publication with staggered transition periods of 6 to 36 months.
