As we move further into 2026, the EU AI Act has shifted from a theoretical discussion to a mandatory operational reality. For organizations already managing GDPR, the introduction of AI-specific regulations might feel like an added burden. However, the secret to staying ahead lies in integrating an AI governance framework directly into your existing GRC strategy.

At Enactia, we believe compliance should be an accelerator. Here is your definitive guide to bridging the gap:

1. Classify Your AI Systems: Categorize your tools into prohibited, high-risk, or limited risk. High-risk systems (like those used in HR or healthcare) require rigorous AI risk assessments.

2. Ensure Algorithmic Transparency: Users must know when they are interacting with an AI. Use automated logging to ensure your models are traceable.

3. Bridge GDPR and AI: Many AI requirements overlap with data privacy. Avoid duplicate work by cross-mapping controls between the two frameworks.

4. Prioritize AI Literacy: Ensure your DPOs and Risk Managers understand AI logic to meet the 2026 transparency mandates.
