​Bringing AI-driven hardware to the EU market means navigating one of the world's most complex regulatory landscapes. This session provides a practical, product-focused overview of how the EU's core digital regulations apply to robotics, autonomous systems, and connected devices: GDPR, the AI Act, the Data Act, and the Cyber Resilience Act.

​With a focus on high-risk AI systems, embedded and edge AI, human-machine interaction, and safety-critical use cases, we translate legal requirements into concrete technical and organizational decisions. We'll walk through the full product lifecycle, from data collection and model training to deployment, updates, and post-market monitoring.

​We'll cover:

• ​how to determine whether your system qualifies as high-risk AI under the AI Act,

• ​how GDPR, the Data Act, and the Cyber Resilience Act apply to robotics and connected devices,

• ​how to allocate compliance responsibilities across suppliers, integrators, and customers,

• ​how to build compliance into product architecture, update workflows, and post-market monitoring.

​You'll learn how to:

• ​Determine whether your system qualifies as high-risk AI

• ​Align product architecture with GDPR and AI Act requirements

• ​Allocate compliance responsibilities across suppliers and customers

• ​Build compliance into design, updates, and monitoring workflows
