Moreover, the lack of an oversight mechanism from any signatory so far suggests the post-signature path to ratification could be long and winding. It could be some time until two parties ratify and the “international” and “legally binding” boxes can be ticked.Businesses are getting ready for the EU AI Act, which came into force last week.
