Following the EU AI Act without losing the source

Start with the legislation and the Commission’s AI Act Service Desk, rather than a social post or an undated compliance checklist. Determine which role and use case you are examining before drawing conclusions.

Keep a record of the version you read. An announcement, an adopted amendment and an applicable obligation are different things. The Commission maintains an implementation timeline; check it for amendments and transition arrangements.

A useful internal evidence log records the source URL, review date, responsible person and unresolved questions. This editorial guide is a reading method, not legal advice or a compliance assessment.
