The Act reaches beyond Europe: if your AI touches people in the EU, you can be in scope as a deployer — with penalties up to €35M or 7% of global turnover for prohibited practices. Readiness starts with classifying every AI system you use.
Until August 2, 2026 — when most EU AI Act obligations apply, including high-risk system requirements.
Step one: classify everything
Your obligations depend entirely on the tier — which is why classification, driven from a complete inventory, is the first readiness task:
Social scoring, manipulative techniques, and other Article 5 practices are banned outright. GOVERNBOX.ai screens every use case at intake — an affirmative answer blocks approval and escalates for legal review.
Systems making consequential decisions about people: hiring, credit, education, essential services. These carry risk management, logging, human oversight, and incident-reporting duties.
Chatbots and AI-generated content that influence people must be disclosed as AI. Your acceptable-use standard and disclosure language cover this tier.
Everything else. No special obligations — but you still need it in your inventory to prove you classified it, and to catch it if its use changes.
Built into the Agency plan
On the Agency plan, the EU AI Act runs through the whole platform — not a separate checklist you maintain by hand:
Every use case gets an EU risk-tier classification and an Article 5 prohibited-use screen the moment it enters your inventory.
The incident log carries the serious-incident reportable flag, so a reportable event is marked — and surfaced on the board report — the day it happens.
Generated policies cite controls mapped to specific EU AI Act articles; the crosswalk scores your approved documents against the Act and lists every gap.
The EU AI Act framework — with GDPR and HIPAA — is exclusive to the Agency plan. Every plan from Starter up includes NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the Colorado AI Act, so your program is ready to add EU coverage when you are.
