Welcome to our Artificial Intelligence Annual Review for 2025. It was a pivotal year for organisations tracking the rapidly evolving EU AI regulatory landscape.
Guidelines and codes published
2025 also saw a wave of EU guidance, including:
- Prohibited AI practices guidelines
- Guidelines on the definition of AI systems
- AI literacy FAQs
- Guidance on obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models
- The General-Purpose AI Code of Practice
- Draft serious incidents guidance
We anticipate further uncertainty in 2026 following the publication of the draft Digital Omnibus package, which may affect compliance planning, particularly the timing of high-risk AI requirements and the future of the AI literacy obligation for providers and deployers.
In our annual review we explore, the most impactful regulatory updates, offer practical insights into how businesses should respond, and outline what we expect for the remainder of the year.
