Navigating the EU AI Act: What Infrastructure Providers Need to Know

Kjartan Kjartansson10 February 2026

The World's First Comprehensive AI Regulation

The EU AI Act represents a landmark in technology regulation — the first comprehensive legal framework specifically designed for artificial intelligence. For infrastructure providers like AI Green Bytes, understanding and implementing these requirements isn't optional; it's fundamental to our business.

Key Requirements for Infrastructure Providers

The Act establishes a risk-based classification system that directly impacts how GPU cloud providers must operate:

High-Risk AI Systems require infrastructure that supports:

  • Complete audit trails of data processing
  • Robust logging and monitoring capabilities
  • Data governance and quality management
  • Human oversight mechanisms
  • Accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity standards

The AIGB Protocol

At AI Green Bytes, we've developed the AIGB Protocol — a comprehensive compliance framework built into our infrastructure from the ground up. Key features include:

  • Data Sovereignty: All data remains within EU jurisdiction at all times
  • Audit Trails: Every computation is logged with immutable records
  • Access Controls: Role-based access with multi-factor authentication
  • Encryption: End-to-end encryption for data at rest and in transit
  • Transparency: Clear documentation of all processing activities

GDPR Integration

The EU AI Act works alongside GDPR, not as a replacement. Our infrastructure ensures:

  • Data minimisation principles are enforced at the hardware level
  • Right to erasure can be exercised across all processing layers
  • Data protection impact assessments are supported with built-in tooling
  • Cross-border data transfer restrictions are respected by design

What This Means for Your Business

By choosing AIGB, you're not just getting GPU compute — you're getting a compliance-ready platform that reduces your regulatory burden. Our infrastructure handles the heavy lifting of compliance, so you can focus on building great AI products.
