Operationalizing the EU AI Act for Technology Leaders

Start with the system

An AI governance program needs an inventory of systems, intended uses, suppliers and accountable owners. Map each use case with legal and compliance specialists before deciding which obligations apply.

Connect obligations to delivery

Translate applicable requirements into architecture conditions, operating responsibilities and evidence. Supplier documentation, data controls, human oversight and change management need owners and review points.

Keep the assessment current

Classification and requirements depend on the system and the organization’s role. Review material changes and consult the current official legislation; this perspective is an operating approach, not a legal classification or compliance guarantee.
