Compliance and Enforcement in Global AI Regulation: EU AI Act Risks and International Regulatory Challenges

Foley & Lardner LLP · · International · Enforcement

Law firm Foley & Lardner has published analysis on compliance and enforcement challenges under the EU AI Act, including the risks companies face and the broader difficulties of coordinating AI regulation across different international jurisdictions.

Why this matters: The EU AI Act is not hypothetical anymore. Companies that sell into Europe or process data about Europeans need to know what rules apply to their systems, what counts as high-risk, and what happens if they get it wrong. Enforcement across borders is the hard part. A company based in the US, using a model trained somewhere else, serving users in the EU, does not fit neatly into any single regulator's lane. That ambiguity is not a loophole. It is a gap where accountability goes to die.
