EU AI Act: What Companies Need to Do Now Following 2 August 2026 | Why We Need to Discuss This Now
On 2 August 2026, a new stage in the application of the EU AI Act began. In particular, the transparency requirements under Article 50 became applicable, and European regulators acquired powers to monitor compliance with the applicable rules.
The First Step Towards Compliance: Identifying Applicable Requirements
For businesses, the key question is no longer whether they need an AI Policy. Companies must now determine:
- which AI systems are actually being used within the company;
- which requirements apply to each use case;
- who is responsible for meeting those requirements;
- which documents and technical measures the company can use to demonstrate compliance.
What Is Already Mandatory and What Companies Should Prepare For
However, not all provisions of the EU AI Act become applicable at the same time. Some requirements relating to high-risk AI systems have been postponed. During the interview, we will distinguish between the obligations that already apply and the requirements for which companies should currently be preparing.
