# EU AI Act and UK readiness checklist
A UK organisation can answer to several rulebooks at once: the EU AI Act when its
AI reaches the EU, UK GDPR whenever AI touches personal data, the sector
regulators, and the standards customers and auditors ask for. Every regulatory
fact below was current on the date shown beside it. This is education, not legal
advice: bring your legal and data protection teams in from the start.
## 1. Does the EU AI Act reach you?
Article 2(1) covers providers placing AI systems or GPAI models on the EU market "irrespective of whether those providers are established or located within the Union or in a third country", and providers and deployers in a third country "where the output produced by the AI system is used in the Union". (verified 27 Sept 2026)
- [ ] Do we place AI systems or general-purpose AI models on the EU market, or put them into service there?
- [ ] Is the output of any AI system we provide or deploy used in the EU?
- [ ] If neither, we've recorded why, and will re-check when we enter an EU market or an EU customer starts using our output.
