AI Compliance
Why is AI compliance becoming more complex?
The complexity stems from the fact that AI systems must account for multiple existing (and evolving) regulatory frameworks simultaneously. There are HIPAA requirements for patient data an AI system processes, the EU AI Act’s risk classification obligations, GDPR’s requirements for handling the data of EU residents, PCI-DSS rules if financial data is involved, just to name a few.
Each framework has its own technical requirements, documentation standards and enforcement timelines.
As an added bonus on top of all of that, regulations continue to change. For example, the EU AI Act’s high-risk AI obligations became fully applicable in August 2026, and GDPR enforcement is becoming more technically sophisticated when it comes to AI-specific processing.
If you’re building a compliance program for just one or two of these regulatory contexts, adding a new AI use case or entering a new market will create challenges your framework isn’t prepared for.
