DORA is an EU regulation that entered into force on 16 January 2023 and will apply as of 17 January 2025. It aims at strengthening the IT security of financial entities. DORA brings harmonisation of the rules relating to operational resilience for the financial sector applying to 20 different types of financial entities and ICT third-party service providers.
EU Artifical Intelligence (AI) Act
It sets out a risk-based framework for AI, applying various rules and requirements depending on the level of risk attached to the use-case. A handful of potential AI use-cases are deemed "unacceptable risk" and banned outright, such as social scoring or subliminal manipulation. The law also defines a set of "high risk" applications, such as AI used in education or employment, or for remote biometrics.
