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.
Topics covered
What has changed: Why this date matters; which requirements are already applicable; what does not need to be implemented yet
Prohibited practices, GPAI, Article 50, deferred high-risk requirements; a quick timeline for 2025–2028
- chatbots and AI agents;
- AI-generated content;
- deepfakes and matters of public interest;
- emotion recognition / biometric categorisation
Where the provider’s responsibility ends and the company’s responsibility begins; what should be reviewed in contracts with AI vendors
AI inventory → classification → gap analysis → disclosure → labelling → documentation → training → compliance evidence
Who carries out supervision; key levels of fines; why having a policy does not equal proven compliance
Customer support chatbot, AI-generated marketing materials, HR/emotion analysis; answers to questions
