Framework hub
EU AI Act
Any provider placing an AI system on the EU market or putting it into service in the EU is in scope, regardless of where they are established.
EU baseline
If you are established in the EU, operate in the EU, or place this product or service on the EU market, treat this as a first-order compliance check. Non-EU reach language means outsiders can also be covered, not that EU companies are outside scope.
