EU AI Act Overview
he EU AI Act applies to any organization whose AI affects people in the EU — regardless of where the company is headquartered. With the August 2026 high-risk enforcement deadline four months away, compliance teams need to understand the four-tier risk structure, which tools qualify as high-risk under Annex III, and what deployer obligations require before the deadline hits.
8 minEU AI Act High-Risk Obligations
High-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act face the most extensive compliance requirements — and obligations differ significantly depending on whether an organization is a provider or deployer. Learn exactly what high-risk designation requires.
6 minEU AI Act Technical Documentation
Technical documentation and conformity assessment are the operational core of EU AI Act compliance for high-risk AI providers. They require organizations to describe their systems in prescribed detail, demonstrate that systems meet the Act's requirements, and maintain documentation in a form that regulators can review. Understand and apply both requirements in practical terms: what must be documented, what assessment procedures apply, and what compliance infrastructure organizations need to build.

The GPAI provisions of the EU AI Act are among the most consequential and least understood parts of the regulation — particularly for organizations using foundation models or developing their own.

This module examines the enforcement architecture: which authorities have jurisdiction, what investigation triggers look like, how the Act's penalty tiers relate to violation severity, and what the first wave of enforcement actions is revealing about regulatory priority. Understanding enforcement logic is how governance programs avoid becoming examples.
