Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine to reproduce human-like skills such as reasoning, learning, planning, creativity and decision-making.
Generative AI is a subfield of AI that can create original content such as text, images, video, audio or software code in response to a prompt or user request (using deep learning algorithms that simulate the learning and decision-making processes of the human brain).
In force throughout the European Union since August 1, 2024, the EU AI Act, a pioneer in the field, has direct application in Portugal, and extraterritorially. With the aim of promoting the development and responsible implementation of artificial intelligence in the EU, the EU AI Act imposes a comprehensive set of obligations on all those involved in the AI value chain, namely provider, deployers, importers and distributors.
