AI Compliance & AI Act for SMEs

The European AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first legal framework dedicated to AI. It classifies AI systems into four risk levels (unacceptable, high, limited, minimal) and imposes proportionate obligations. Enforcement is phased: bans from February 2025, full obligations for high-risk systems from August 2026. According to Eurostat (2024), 61% of European companies using AI have no formalised usage register. CNIL issued 42 sanctions in 2024 for AI violations. AI Act fines reach up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover. Powehi provides a complete methodological framework: auditable register, impact sheets, validation process and monitoring dashboard, tailored to SMEs with 20 to 500 employees.
