EU AI Act and Coordinated Plan Update — April 21, 2021
The European Commission proposed the AI Act and refreshed the Coordinated Plan, defining risk tiers, conformity assessments, and investment priorities Zeph Tech tracks.
The AI Act proposal and 2021 Coordinated Plan update marked the EU’s shift from voluntary AI ethics to binding regulation. Zeph Tech references both documents when advising on high-risk AI compliance roadmaps.
- 21 Apr 2021 — AI Act proposal. The draft regulation introduced prohibitions, high-risk system obligations, and conformity assessments.
- 21 Apr 2021 — Coordinated Plan on AI 2021 review. The plan mapped EU and member-state investments in testing and data infrastructure.
- 21 Apr 2021 — Commission press release. The release emphasised risk-based regulation and innovation sandboxes.
These artifacts continue to shape Zeph Tech’s AI governance templates for EU deployments.
