What EU AI Pact - Voluntary Pre-Commitments to the EU AI Act (Launched September 25, 2024) requires
The European AI Office launched the EU AI Pact on September 25, 2024 as a voluntary initiative for companies to commit to early implementation of selected EU AI Act obligations ahead of mandatory application dates. The Pact is structured in two pillars. Pillar I provides for outreach and capacity building - information sessions, learning events, multi-stakeholder dialogue led by the AI Office to support implementation readiness. Pillar II is the formal voluntary pledge mechanism where organisations make written commitments to specified actions across three core areas: (1) Adopt an AI governance strategy to foster the uptake of AI in the organisation and prepare for AI Act compliance; (2) Identify and map AI systems likely to be categorised as high-risk under the AI Act; (3) Promote AI literacy and awareness among staff and others dealing with AI systems on behalf of the organisation. Signatories may also make additional voluntary pledges on specific AI Act obligations such as fundamental rights impact assessments, human oversight, content labelling for AI-generated material, or transparency about generative AI use. The launch involved 100+ companies including major US, EU, and Asian providers. The Pact does not replace EU AI Act compliance obligations but is intended to accelerate practical readiness and demonstrate good-faith engagement to the AI Office.
