I agree, the AI Clock is Ticking. Thanks Christopher Foo at Ropes & Gray for illustrating the timeline in the article titled "EU AI Act Published in the Official Journal of the European Union; Clock Starts for Compliance." With the Official Journal publication on July 12th, organizations are racing to beat the compliance clock. I found the AI Literacy requirement for providers and deployers of AI systems quite interesting with a deadline of February 2025. #ai #airiskmanagement #ailiteracy #euaiact #euai
