The EU AI Act has entered a new and important phase.

In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I explore what the 2 August 2026 milestone means for organisations using, deploying and supplying AI.

The discussion covers:

💡 Why transparency is becoming a core AI responsibility
💡 When people must be told they are interacting with AI
💡 New expectations around deepfakes and synthetic media
💡 The importance of machine-readable labelling and digital provenance
💡 Why every organisation needs an AI invento💡 The difference between AI providers and deployers
💡 How AI procurement is becoming part of supply-chain governance
💡 The potential penalties for getting transparency obligations wrong
💡 Whether responsible AI can become a competitive advantage rather than simply a compliance burden

The central message is simple – AI Governance should not be about stopping innovation. It should be about enabling organisations to innovate safely, transparently and responsibly.
