The EU AI Act: Update on the application timeline and implications for Swiss companies

The EU AI Act: Update on the application timeline and implications for…

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (“AI Act”) marked a significant milestone in the European Union's regulation of AI technologies. Due to its extraterritorial application, also companies based in Switzerland and other non-EU-countries may potentially be subject to the AI Act. The AI Act formally entered into force one year ago, but its substantive rules are applied in a phased approach. Effective 2 August 2025, a significant number of provisions under the AI Act came into force, while the final set of its provisions will only enter into force on 2 August 2026 and 2 August 2027, respectively.

Switzerland outlines regulatory approach to Artificial Intelligence

Switzerland outlines regulatory approach to Artificial Intelligence

On 12 February 2025, the Swiss Federal Council published its approach for regulating artificial intelligence (AI) in Switzerland. Rather than adopting a general cross-sector AI law, it will maintain Switzerland’s sector specific regulatory framework. Additionally, the Federal Council has decided to ratify the Council of Europe’s AI Convention and propose to Parliament the necessary amendments to Swiss law. In accordance with this approach, overarching regulations governing AI will be restricted to areas concerning fundamental rights, such as data protection. A corresponding draft law is expected for 2026.
