The EU AI Act is not optional. Understanding the risks of non-compliance — and the benefits of acting early — is the first step to protecting your business.
The EU AI Act carries some of the heaviest fines in EU regulatory history.
Up to €35,000,000
or
7% of Global Annual Turnover
whichever is higher. That is not a typo.
For SMEs, fines are proportionate — but still substantial. Even a 1% fine on €5M turnover is €50,000.
These are not hypothetical. The EU AI Act applies to everyday business uses of AI.
Using AI camera systems for customer behavior analysis without a transparency notice. Failure to comply with transparency obligations.
Automated CV filtering and candidate ranking without risk assessment, documentation, or human oversight mechanisms.
Deploying emotion recognition AI on employees in the workplace. This is a prohibited practice under the EU AI Act.
AI-powered product recommendation engine without disclosing to users that recommendations are AI-generated.
Traditional compliance consulting is designed for enterprises, not SMBs. AktAI changes that.

Compliance is not just about avoiding penalties. It is a competitive advantage.
Customers increasingly care about how companies use AI. Demonstrating compliance builds confidence and loyalty.
Be the company that prospects trust with their data. Compliance-ready businesses win deals that non-compliant ones lose.
AI regulation is expanding globally. Companies compliant with the EU AI Act will have a head start on emerging regulations worldwide.
Staff who understand AI and its governance are more productive and more confident using AI tools responsibly.
Full enforcement begins August 2026. Companies that start now have time to get compliant properly. Companies that wait risk scrambling — or getting fined.
