Risk classes, transparency obligations, high-risk systems. What really applies from August 2026 — and what already does.

What the regulation covers.
The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive regulation for artificial intelligence in the EU. It classifies AI systems by risk (prohibited, high-risk, limited, minimal) and derives obligations from that — documentation, transparency, risk management, human oversight.
High-risk systems — in insurance, healthcare, education, critical infrastructure — sit under the strictest requirements.
What this means day to day.
Governance is no longer optional. Anyone building agents in regulated areas needs risk classification, model documentation, operational monitoring and traceable escalation. We build this in from day one.
