The EU AI Act, now partially in effect as of February 2025, introduces comprehensive regulations for artificial intelligence systems with significant implications for global AI development. This landmark legislation categorizes AI systems based on risk levels - from prohibited applications to high-risk and limited-risk systems - establishing strict requirements for transparency, accountability, and compliance. The Act imposes substantial penalties for violations, up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover, and provides a clear timeline for implementation through 2027. Organizations must take immediate action to audit their AI systems, implement robust governance infrastructure, and enhance development practices to ensure compliance, with tools like ZenML offering technical solutions for meeting these regulatory requirements.
ZenML's new Experiment Comparison Tool brings powerful experiment tracking capabilities to your ML pipelines. Compare up to 20 pipeline runs simultaneously through intuitive tabular and parallel coordinates visualizations, helping teams derive actionable insights from their pipeline metadata. Now available in the Pro tier dashboard.
ZenML combines forces with Great Expectations to add data validation to the list of continuous processes automated with MLOps. Discover why data validation is an important part of MLOps and try the new integration with a hands-on tutorial.
This week I spoke with Emeli Dral, co-founder and CTO of Evidently, an open-source tool tackling the problem of monitoring of models and data for machine learning. We discussed the challenges around building a tool that is both straightforward to use while also customizable and powerful.
Test automation is tedious enough with traditional software engineering, but machine learning complexities can make it even less appealing. Using Deepchecks with ZenML pipelines can get you started as quickly as it takes you to read this article.
ZenML recently added an integration with Evidently, an open-source tool that allows you to monitor your data for drift (among other things). This post showcases the integration alongside some of the other parts of Evidently that we like.
