If you’re building AI agents or SaaS products used by European companies (or processing EU resident data), the EU AI Act applies to you regardless of where your company is based.
Full enforcement for high-risk systems starts August 2, 2026. High-risk means: credit scoring, recruitment filtering, healthcare triage, education assessment, critical infrastructure.
The practical requirements:
- Automatic decision logging (not optional)
- 6-month minimum log retention
- Technical documentation of your detection pipeline
- Human oversight architecture
- Accuracy and bias testing documentation
Fines: up to 35M euros or 7% of global turnover.
I broke down what the regulation requires, what auditors check, and realistic steps before the deadline. In link below
Worth reading if your team is building anything AI-related for the European market.
