WASHINGTON, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the EU AI Act’s August 2nd deadline puts up to 7% of annual revenue at risk for global companies, AI governance expert Rohan Sharma, CEO of Zenolabs.AI, unveils ConformityX, a groundbreaking platform for multi-jurisdiction AI compliance assessments. This launch aligns with Sharma's selection for the Aspen Institute's inaugural Rising Civic AI Leaders program, a prestigious cohort advancing AI policy.
“We're witnessing a perfect storm of regulatory enforcement and corporate unpreparedness,” warned Sharma. “With staggering fines looming under the EU AI Act, executives must swiftly and decisively prioritize AI compliance—or risk financial and reputational damage by year-end. ConformityX, a unified framework to navigate the fragmented AI compliance landscape, is designed precisely for this moment.”
Why It Matters Now
As the AI governance market surges from $309 million in 2025 to a projected $4.8 billion by 2034, 80% of organizations lack adequate data foundations for AI compliance (MIT Tech Review/Snowflake, 2024). Companies face imminent fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover for violations starting August 2nd, placing CFOs and boards under unprecedented pressure. Gartner forecasts that “the direct cost of AI non-compliance will exceed $50 billion globally by 2026,” a risk highlighted by Meta’s public regulatory standoffs as EU enforcement escalates.
Built on two U.S. patent-pending architectures—including cryptographic compliance via zero-knowledge verification—ConformityX delivers:
- Real-time compliance monitoring across the EU AI Act, NIST RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, GDPR, OECD AI Principles, and Colorado and New York state laws.
- Instant visual heat maps and radar charts—cutting audit time by up to 75%.
- Automated cross-regulatory scoring and executive dashboards—pinpointing high-risk system gaps.
- Audit trails and actionable compliance roadmaps—enabling Fortune 500 companies to act before enforcement triggers.
