Yes. The EU AI Act applies to any organization that places an AI system on the EU market or puts it into service within the EU, regardless of where the company is incorporated. A US company whose AI system is used by European employees, customers, or partners falls within scope.
Very likely yes. AI systems used in recruitment, CV screening, interview scheduling, or candidate scoring are explicitly listed in Annex III as high-risk. If those systems affect EU-based applicants or employees, compliance obligations apply even if your company has no office in Europe.
Annex III lists eight categories of high-risk AI including systems used in employment, education, essential services, law enforcement, and migration. AI used in HR, credit scoring, or biometric identification is considered high-risk by default and subject to the strictest compliance requirements.
Fines for prohibited AI practices can reach EUR 35 million or 7% of global annual turnover (Article 99). Violations of high-risk AI obligations carry fines up to EUR 15 million or 3% of global turnover. These fines apply to global revenue, not just EU revenue.
Compliance starts with a gap assessment to determine which AI systems fall within scope and at what risk level. For high-risk systems, this leads to a conformity assessment, technical documentation, a risk management system, data governance measures, and EU registration. Lexara Advisory provides structured compliance programs for US organizations.
Yes. Physical presence in the EU is not required. The Act applies based on where the AI system is used or who it affects. A US company deploying AI that affects EU residents must comply and must appoint an EU Authorised Representative if it has no EU establishment.
