AI Classification Without Chaos: Getting Ahead of the EU AI Act

Wednesday, August 20, 2025
9:45 AM - 10:15 AM
AI Risk Summit Track 2 (Salon II)

About This Session

As the EU AI Act begins its phased enforcement, organizations across industries are under pressure to accurately classify their AI systems and map associated legal obligations. But for many, this process is anything but simple—manual efforts are inconsistent, scattered across teams, and lack the audit-ready rigor regulators demand.

In this session, we’ll walk through a practical approach to operationalizing AI risk classification and controls mapping using automation and governance best practices. You’ll learn how to move beyond one-off classification efforts and toward a sustainable, repeatable process that scales with your organization and stays ahead of regulatory change.
