The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), the world's first comprehensive legal framework on artificial intelligence, entered into force on 1 August 2024 and will be fully applicable by 2 August 2026. Built on a risk-based approach, it categorizes AI systems across four levels; from high/unacceptable to minimal risk. As an organization operating within the EU, we recognize the AI Act as a foundational reference point for responsible AI adoption and have aligned our internal practices with its principles from the outset.

At kartECO, AI tools are used at the individual level by our team members to support the production of professional deliverables including reports, analytical texts, data visualizations, and project documentation. These applications fall within the minimal-risk category under the AI Act, as they do not involve automated decision-making affecting individuals' rights, high-risk sector deployment, or the use of prohibited practices. In line with the Act's AI literacy requirements, we ensure that all staff using AI tools are adequately informed about their capabilities and limitations.
