Status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EU<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In force from 1 August 2024. Note: Proposed amended through the Digital Omnibus on AI<\/a> Proposal)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EEA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norway<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pending. The Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance has proposed a new Artificial Intelligence Act implementing the regulation, subject to a public consultation that ended 30 September 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EU AI Act aims to regulate the use of artificial intelligence across the EEA. It is designed to ensure AI systems are safe, transparent, and accountable. The Act classifies AI applications into risk categories (unacceptable risk, high risk, general-purpose AI models with systemic\/non-systemic risk) and sets out specific requirements and standards for each category.

The AI Act imposes the most stringent regulatory burden on natural or legal persons developing and placing AI systems on the market, but also targets importers, distributors and users using an AI system under their authority (deployers).

High-risk AI systems encompass systems which may be used for various purposes in different sectors, such as safety components in critical infrastructure, HR (recruitment and decision-making) and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relevance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The AI Act is the first comprehensive law on AI by a major regulator anywhere. Norwegian businesses operating in or entering the EU market will need extensive knowledge of its requirements (when finalized), particularly around high-risk applications and general-purpose AI systems, to capitalize on innovation opportunities while adhering to regulatory expectations. The AI Act’s provision for imposing fines up to \u20ac35 million or 7% of global turnover (depending on severity and type of breach) for non-compliance highlights the EU’s serious commitment to ensuring AI is used and manufactured responsibly.

The regulation is proposed implemented in Norway through a new act on artificial intelligence, incorporating the EU Regulation as-is. The Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom) is proposed as the coordinating market surveillance authority for the AI Act. It is also worth to note that Norwegian public bodies may be subject to regulatory fines under the proposed act. The aim is for the new legislation to enter into force in August 2026, but due to the proposed amendments to the regulation (see Digital Omnibus on AI<\/a>), implementation may be delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key obligations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI systems with unacceptable risk are prohibited (such as systems deploying subliminal or manipulative techniques to affect a person’s behaviour or decisions, and systems using real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces).

For high-risk AI systems, providers are i.e. obliged to implement a risk management system, ensure quality of training data, and provide information enabling deployers to interpret the system\u2019s output and use it appropriately. The system design must allow for human oversight, and achieve an appropriate level of accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity.

Deployers of high-risk AI systems must implement measures to ensure and monitor that the systems are used in compliance with its instructions, ensure human oversight by competent personnel, ensure that input data is relevant and sufficiently representative and, depending on the intended use, provide information to affected users and conduct an impact assessment.

General Purpose AI Systems (systems with capability to serve a variety of purposes, such as OpenAI) will be subject to mandatory transparency requirements, technical documentation, compliance with copyright laws, and detailed summaries of training data content. High-impact general-purpose AI models will face additional obligations, including risk assessments and reporting on incidents and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
