Artificial intelligence - a blessing and a curse at the same time?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made enormous progress in recent years and is now an integral part of many companies. In February 2025, the EU introduced new regulatory requirements to make the use of AI safer and more transparent. However, these present companies with unprecedented challenges, but also offer opportunities to use the new technology in a targeted and responsible manner.
In this article, we explain the EU's regulatory framework and how Grieshaber implements it in its best practice approach and establishes it in a cross-divisional and results-orientated manner as part of its project structure.
New regulatory requirements from the EU
The EU has introduced a number of regulations aimed at regulating the use of AI. The most important requirements include
- Transparency: Companies must disclose how their AI systems work and what data they use.
- Data protection: Strict data protection guidelines must be adhered to in order to protect the privacy of users.
- Ethics: AI systems must take ethical principles into account and must not make discriminatory decisions.
- Safety: AI systems must be safe and reliable in order to minimise risks for users.
Grieshaber's approach to compliance with the new regulations
Grieshaber has been working intensively on the new regulatory requirements and has taken the following measures:
- Appointment of AI experts: Grieshaber has appointed a team of AI experts to work intensively on the topic. These experts will bring the possibilities of the new technology to the individual company departments to ensure that Grieshaber remains competitive and fit for the future.
- Development of a compliance programme: Grieshaber has developed a corresponding compliance policy to ensure compliance with the new EU regulations. This policy includes training, regular audits and the implementation of best practices.
- Promoting transparency and ethics: Grieshaber attaches great importance to transparency and ethical principles, which the AI systems used must also fulfil.
