Complying with the EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is the proposed EU legislation concerning AI systems. This paper identifies several categories of the AI Act. Based on this categorization, a questionnaire is developed that serves as a tool to offer insights by creating quantitative data. Analysis of the data shows various challenges for organizations in different compliance categories. The influence of organization characteristics, such as size and sector, is examined to determine the impact on compliance. The paper will also share qualitative data on which questions were prevalent among respondents, both on the content of the AI Act as the application. The paper concludes by stating that there is still room for improvement in terms of compliance with the AIA and refers to a related project that examines a solution to help these organizations.
