Adapting the EU AI Act for SMEs: Opportunities and Challenges

Summary:

Le règlement sur l’IA de l’UE propose des mesures adaptées pour soutenir les PME, notamment des accès gratuits aux zones de régulation et des amendes plafonnées. Cependant, la conformité demeure complexe et dépend fortement des stratégies nationales. Le guide souligne l’importance d’une coordination accrue entre les niveaux national et européen pour éviter des charges non intentionnelles sur les petites entreprises, tout en offrant des recommandations pratiques pour gérer la réglementation de l’IA de manière responsable.

Back from Easter break, new short report out:

Together with Sean Musch and Michael Charles Borrelli from AI & Partners, Charles Kerrigan, Amit Gupta, and Rob Leslie, I contributed to a new Practical Guide to the EU AI Act for SMEs.

The EU AI Act includes a suite of tailored measures to support SMEs—from free access to regulatory sandboxes to simplified documentation and capped fines. But compliance isn’t always easy, and standards are still way out. Notably, successful implementation for SMEs in particular depends heavily on national-level strategies.

This short guide identifies where and how regulatory proportionality works—and where further national and EU coordination is urgently needed to prevent unintended burdens on smaller innovators.

We offer actionable recommendations to help SMEs engage with standard-setting, manage compliance, and deploy AI systems responsibly under the new framework. Concerns remain, e.g. concerning the under-representation of SMEs in the crucial standardization process.

But with serious dedication, focused leadership, and a good team, SMEs can manage AI regulation, as I am seeing whenever I work with SMEs large and small 🙂

Feel free to reach out for more specific insights.
