In this episode of Startuprad.io, we delve into the AI Act , the European Union’s pioneering legislation aimed at setting clear and ethical standards for artificial intelligence across all sectors. With compliance deadlines approaching in 2026, the AI Act introduces a structured framework to assess and mitigate the risks posed by AI systems, impacting both established companies and emerging startups. Join our host, Joe Menninger, as he welcomes Andrew Gamino-Cheong , CTO of Trustable, a leading AI governance software company. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Understanding the AI Act’s Risk-Based Framework The AI Act categorizes AI systems by risk levels—Unacceptable, High, Limited, and Minimal or No Risk. Joe and Andrew break down what these classifications mean for businesses and discuss why certain applications, like real-time biometric surveillance, are banned while others are simply regulated. Transparency and Accountability Requirements Discover why transparency is crucial under the AI Act. From documenting data sources to maintaining thorough audit trails, companies need to be upfront about how AI models are built and used. This episode discusses the new standards of accountability and how businesses can adapt to this framework without stifling innovation. Challenges of AI Compliance and Shared Responsibilities The AI Act’s structure requires both AI developers and deployers to uphold compliance standards. Andrew explains what companies must do to ensure they meet these obligations, including the need for frequent testing and updates to AI models to mitigate risks. What the AI Act Means for Entrepreneurs and Startups Smaller organizations may face significant hurdles in meeting the Act’s requirements, but Andrew shares insights on how startups can turn compliance into a competitive advantage. This episode is packed with tips on implementing AI responsibly, with compliance not only as a requirement but also as a selling point to potential customers and investors. The Global Implications of AI Regulation As the EU takes the lead, other regions are watching closely. The AI Act may serve as a blueprint for future AI laws worldwide, potentially setting a global standard. Joe and Andrew discuss the similarities and differences between the EU’s AI Act and U.S. initiatives, like recent executive orders, and what this means for companies with international operations.
