FAQ
Is the AI Act fully applicable now?
No. It applies in phases. Some obligations are already relevant, while other high-risk and transparency obligations apply later in the phased timeline.
Should I wait until all rules apply?
No. Inventory, policy, risk triage, AI literacy and vendor documentation take time and should start early.
Where should I verify dates?
Use the official AI Act Service Desk and European Commission pages linked on the Sources page.
