AI Governance

A licensed model from an AI lab, or one you host yourself? Both can work. They need different safeguards.

AI Act

Where does your AI system sit? A few questions based on the banned practices in Article 5 and the high-risk uses in Annex III. It takes about a minute.

Key dates

  1. Banned practices apply (Article 5)
  2. Duties for general-purpose AI models apply
  3. Transparency duties apply (Article 50). Commission enforcement of model duties starts
  4. Marking deadline for generative AI already on the market
  5. High-risk rules for Annex III uses apply
  6. High-risk rules for AI in regulated products (Annex I) apply

GDPR

Most AI runs on personal data. Where yours does, the GDPR applies alongside the AI Act. Four questions give you the list of what to have in place.

About Marcell Szikszai

Self-employed AI governance and privacy consultant in Luxembourg.

From senior management at the EU institutions to ministry-level officials and C-level executives in financial institutions and other businesses, I give hands-on advice on AI and privacy governance.

I help financial institutions, public institutions and businesses use AI in a way they can explain to their board, their customers and their supervisor. A bank scoring credit, a ministry buying an AI tool or a fintech launching a chatbot are typical examples.

I was Group Data Protection Officer of a Luxembourg bank with more than three million customers, where I set up its first AI governance framework and co-founded its AI Working Group. At the European Commission I held three data protection roles, advised senior management and presented to an expert group of 23 Member States at ministry level. More recently I advised a large technology company on its agentic AI policies.

I am a former PhD researcher in data protection law at the University of Miskolc. I write Digital Agora, a newsletter on AI governance and privacy.
