Current to 1 March 2026. Includes all available implementing guidance, codes of practice, and harmonized standards. AI Regulation in Europe: EU AI Act Explained is a 700-page annotated reference on Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Designed for legal and compliance professionals, it provides the full Act text interleaved with commentary clarifying obligations, timelines, and penalties. Departing from linear commentaries, this edition is structured for implementation. It resolves extensive cross-references to other EU legislation (GDPR, Digital Services Act, Product Safety Regulation) to present a unified framework. Crucially, it consolidates provisions-originally dispersed throughout the Act-into a systematic grouping by market player (Provider, Deployer, Distributor, Importer, GPAI Model Developer). This enables readers to isolate precisely which obligations apply to their role without navigating the Act's complex text. Key Features:Role-Based Navigation: Provisions reorganized by market player for immediate applicability. Legislative Cross-References: Links to external EU regulations decoded and explained. Complete Guidance Integration: Incorporates all EU AI Office guidance and codes of practice to 1 March 2026. Intended Audience:Corporate counsel and compliance officers at AI vendors and deployers.
