Google's Responsible AI Toolkit v3 is a developer-focused suite of tools for building responsible AI, while the EU AI Act Compliance Program is a regulatory framework that organizations must adhere to, with significant financial implications for non-compliance. The toolkit can assist in achieving compliance, but the program encompasses broader organizational and governance aspects.
