Quoted in [Agenda](<https://www.agendaweek.com/>) article "[New EU AI Rules Will Have Global Impact](<https://www.agendaweek.com/lead/c/4383244/568934>)":

> The scope of the EU AI Act will apply to all companies whose AI systems are used or affect EU-based individuals, according to **Claude-Etienne Armingaud** , a partner in **K &L Gates**’ Paris office and a member of the law firm’s technology transactions and sourcing practice group.
> 
> Due to its breadth, global companies developing AI systems, most of which are headquartered either in the U.S. or in China, will face two options: “Get in line with the EU AI Act or abstain from the EU market,” Armingaud said.
> 
> Some companies threatened to exit the European market after the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, became effective in 2018, but many didn’t actually follow through, according to Armingaud.
> 
> “So, without a doubt, all companies dabbling in AI will need to comply if they truly want to remain global,” he said.
