The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has launched its AI-system Assessment Tool, which is designed to support firms of all sizes navigate the regulatory complexities of AI. Developed together with EFAMA member experts from across the industry, the Tool will help firms document and assess AI use cases in line with the EU AI Act and other interdependent regulations, including GDPR, MiFIR and DORA, using a free-of-charge standardised tool.
In 2024, the EU adopted the AI Act, aiming to foster trustworthy AI in Europe and introducing the first-ever comprehensive legal framework in the region. The EU AI Act establishes a risk-based approach by which AI systems can be classified according to different levels of risk (unacceptable, high risk, limited and minimal risk).
