Winners provides ISO 42001 × EU AI Act × Taiwan AI Law compliance — AI risk classification, algorithm review SOPs, and transparency reports.
Intended Beneficiaries
- ✓Companies developing or deploying AI products/services (especially those targeting EU markets)
- ✓High-risk AI sectors: financial services, healthcare, HR systems
- ✓Multinationals required to comply with EU AI Act and Taiwan AI regulations
- ✓Enterprises where the board has mandated AI governance but need a starting point
The Difference Between Acting and Waiting
✅ When you act
Companies achieving ISO 42001 certification before the EU AI Act 2026 deadline pass AI governance reviews in EU and US procurement directly — while competitors are still explaining how their AI works.
❌ When you wait
Companies without AI governance frameworks face EU AI Act penalties up to 7% of global annual revenue — a single fine can wipe out years of profit.
✅ When you act
Enterprises with proactive AI risk classification gain regulatory trust in high-risk AI sectors (finance, healthcare, HR), securing early access to markets requiring AI governance certification.
❌ When you wait
Companies treating AI governance as a PowerPoint exercise face regulatory investigations without any institutional evidence when AI systems produce biased or erroneous outputs.
✅ When you act
Organizations with transparent AI governance become preferred employers for top AI talent — engineers want to join brands known for responsible AI.
❌ When you wait
Without an AI ethics framework, AI failures (hallucinations, bias) create compounding legal liability and brand damage.
Framework Comparison & Implementation Strategy
ISO 42001 First
Builds an AI management system framework applicable to all AI-using enterprises, earning an internationally recognized certification. Most EU AI Act documentation is completed in the process.
EU AI Act First
Targeted at companies entering EU markets; mandatory four-tier risk classification compliance with financial penalties for violations. Narrower scope but legally binding.
High-Risk AI (Strict Compliance Required)
AI used in recruitment screening, credit assessment, medical diagnosis, judicial decisions, or critical infrastructure. EU AI Act mandates strict requirements with penalties up to 7% of global revenue.
Low-Risk AI (Voluntary Compliance Recommended)
Customer service chatbots, content recommendations, ad targeting — transparency mechanisms recommended but no mandatory financial penalties currently.
Service Delivery Process (Four Stages)
AI System Inventory & Classification
Identify all AI use cases (built or purchased) and classify them under the ISO 42001 and EU AI Act four-tier risk framework.
Regulatory Gap Analysis
Map current practices against EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and Taiwan AI law requirements, delivering a prioritized remediation list.
Governance Framework & Documentation
Establish AI risk policies, algorithm review SOPs, and transparency report templates to complete the compliance document set.
Training & Continuous Monitoring
Train key personnel and implement a compliance monitoring dashboard to ensure ongoing regulatory adherence post-deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the EU AI Act take effect, and does it apply to Taiwanese companies?▼
The EU AI Act entered into force in August 2024, with high-risk AI systems required to comply by 2026. If your product or service has end-users in the EU, your company must comply — regardless of where you are headquartered.
What is the current status of Taiwan's AI Basic Act?▼
Taiwan's AI Basic Act was passed in 2024, with subsidiary regulations still being developed. Winners tracks all regulatory updates to ensure your compliance roadmap stays current.
Our AI is only used internally — do we still need to comply?▼
If your internal AI is used for high-risk scenarios like HR decisions or credit assessment, we recommend establishing a governance framework proactively, even without external sales, to mitigate future regulatory and labor dispute risks.
How long does ISO 42001 certification take?▼
Typically 7–12+ months depending on AI system complexity. Winners offers modular pricing — you can start with your highest-risk systems and expand coverage incrementally.
Our AI algorithm is accused of bias against specific groups — how should we respond?▼
In 2019, the Apple Card / Goldman Sachs AI credit scoring tool was alleged to grant lower credit lines to women, triggering a 16-month NYDFS investigation. ISO 42001 requires enterprises to establish bias testing, algorithm review SOPs, and decision explainability reports — the only institutional evidence accepted by regulators when an incident occurs. Winners helps complete bias risk assessment before AI deployment, preventing brand collapse and regulatory penalties.
Is using AI for recruitment screening really a legal risk?▼
In 2018, Amazon scrapped its internal AI recruiting tool after it was found to systematically discriminate against female candidates. Taiwan's Ministry of Labor has flagged AI recruitment fairness, and the EU AI Act lists HR and recruitment AI as high-risk with fines up to 7% of global annual revenue. Winners builds training data bias detection, decision transparency, and human review mechanisms aligned with ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act.
Will scraping faces for AI training trigger fines? What does the Clearview AI case show?▼
Clearview AI scraped 3 billion face images for AI training; between 2022 and 2024 it was fined under GDPR and privacy laws by France (CNIL), Italy, Greece, Netherlands, and the UK, with cumulative penalties exceeding €100M, and ordered to stop processing EU citizens' data. Winners builds AI training data legality review, biometric DPIAs, and cross-border transfer SOPs ensuring ISO 42001 × GDPR dual compliance.
Our AI system is classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act — what is required?▼
EU AI Act Articles 9-15 require: (1) iterative risk management, (2) training data quality governance, (3) technical documentation (model cards), (4) automated logs, (5) transparency disclosure, (6) human oversight, (7) accuracy and robustness testing, (8) CE marking conformity declaration. Winners builds all eight in one engagement using the ISO 42001 framework, before the 2026 deadline.
