Common Questions

Does the EU AI Act apply to US companies?

Yes, due to its extraterritorial reach. If your AI system's output is used within the EU, or if you place the system on the EU market, you are subject to the Act regardless of where your company is headquartered.

What is 'Double Materiality' in CSRD?

It means companies must report both on how sustainability issues affect their business performance (financial materiality) and how their operations affect people and the environment (impact materiality).

Are cloud providers covered by DORA?

Yes. DORA introduces an oversight framework for Critical ICT Third-Party Providers (CTPPs), which explicitly includes major cloud service providers, bringing them under direct EU supervision.
