The EU AI Act is live, but most companies are still treating it like another GDPR. It's not. It's a fundamentally different kind of regulation, one that's tied to how your business operates, not just how it stores data.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Benedikt Flöter - Partner at YPOG and head of their AI and Emerging Technologies practice - who advises leadership teams on building legally compliant, scalable AI governance that actually drives business value.

We discuss:

Why two-thirds of companies overestimate their AI risk classification
The governance foundations every organization needs before scaling AI
How a recent German court ruling means your AI-generated content may not be copyright protected
Why AI literacy is now a legal requirement and what "sufficient" actually looks like
