German companies developing or deploying AI systems should now review their compliance structures – especially for high-risk applications (recruitment, credit decisions, security). The government is simultaneously building its own safety infrastructure, which also creates opportunities for German AI safety providers. What remains unclear is whether the international cooperation strategy will deliver results quickly enough, or whether calls for a moratorium will gain momentum again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Sources\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.boerse-express.com\u002Fnews\u002Farticles\u002Fai-act-eu-kommission-verstaerkt-durchsetzung-ab-september-946917\">Börse Express\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Editorially owned by \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fen\u002Fautor\u002Fideal-syka\">Ideal Syka\u003C\u002Fa>.
