Global Implications for Non-EU Manufacturers
摘要
Although the EU AI Act is European legislation, its extraterritorial reach compels non-EU firms to comply whenever their AI-enabled products or outputs reach the Union. This chapter analyses the Act’s global ripple effects, compares it with parallel frameworks in the United States and Asia, and outlines practical strategies for navigating overlapping regimes. Case vignettes demonstrate how supply chain partners, distributors, and local subsidiaries can trigger EU jurisdiction. Readers learn to anticipate compliance pressures, leverage early alignment as a market differentiator, and prepare for future interoperability or divergence across regions.
