For UK Businesses Working with EU Clients or Targeting EU Audiences
With the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence, it’s more important than ever to ensure you’re using it responsibly and in line with applicable laws. If your business provides services to individuals in the EU, or your content reaches EU audiences, you may have legal duties under both UK GDPR and the EU AI Act. That’s where our Artificial Intelligence AI Use Checklist and Factsheet EU Version can help.
Designed specifically for UK-based businesses who need to consider their EU obligations, this checklist helps you assess your AI use and understand the practical steps required to stay compliant.
Why Use This Artificial Intelligence “AI” Use Checklist EU Version Instead of the UK-Only One
This version should be used if:
-
You work with EU-based clients or subscribers
-
Your AI-generated content is seen or used in the EU
-
You process data that relates to people in the EU
-
You need to meet additional transparency, fairness, or risk-based obligations under the EU AI Act
If you work solely with UK-based clients and do not market to, analyse, or monitor individuals in the EU, the UK-only checklist may be more appropriate.
