The EU AI Pact allows companies to make voluntary commitments to align practices with the future AI Act, gaining recognition as early adopters of responsible AI standards. It serves as a preparatory framework in which participants share their processes for governance, transparency, and risk management in AI systems. Through public declarations of intent and concrete actions, organisations can demonstrate proactive efforts toward compliance with upcoming legal obligations. The Pact aims to build trust, promote best practices and support stakeholders in smoothing the transition to mandatory regulatory requirements.
