The EU AI Act is Law! Now What? (with Debbie Reynolds)

Debbie Reynolds of Debbie Reynolds Consulting LLC joins Leonard Lee of neXt Curve on the reThink Podcast to talk about one of the biggest if not the biggest regulatory shoes to drop on "AI". On August 1, 2024, the EU AI Act came into effect and is poised to shape the future of "AI". Wrought in the midst of the AI hype that preceded the current generative AI hype, the new law will present new risks and guardrails for businesses and organizations all around the world as they contemplate the use and commercialization of "AI" technologies and applications. There is little doubt that companies big and small will be beleaguered to figure out what compliance and implications of the EU AI Act will mean for them. 

Leonard and The Data Diva parse through the bits and pieces of the EU AI Act that matter:

• What are the implications of the EU AI Act on businesses & "Big Tech"? (17:35)
• What does the EU AI Act mean for "AI" innovation & global competition? (29:55)
