EU AI Act for SMEs: practical governance for everyday generative AI use

What SMEs should prepare under the EU AI Act for generative AI usage: inventory, governance, documentation and risk-aware deployment.

4-day trial

The EU AI Act raises expectations for how organisations invent, buy and use AI. Even when you only use third-party generative AI, you still need internal governance: inventory, usage rules, documentation and human oversight for impactful actions.

SME-ready actions

  1. Inventory AI tools and use cases.
  2. Classify sensitive vs public tasks.
  3. Require approved workspaces for confidential work.
  4. Keep approval trails for agent actions (email, publish, deploy).
  5. Train teams with real examples.
