AI Act: obligations for companies using artificial intelligence

The AI Act introduces obligations based on the company role, system type and risk level, including transparency and staff competence requirements. This guide covers preparation, implementation, control and measurement.

What the topic means in practice

The AI Act introduces obligations based on the company role, system type and risk level, including transparency and staff competence requirements.

When the solution is genuinely useful

It is most useful when a company can identify the system role, risk level and responsibilities across the full supply chain. The use case should follow a concrete problem rather than the mere availability of a new feature.

How to prepare the implementation

First determine the company role and how the system is used. Documentation should cover the provider, data, audience, risk, human oversight, user information and incident response. In practical terms, maintain an AI-use register, document data and oversight, and confirm obligations for the specific case with legal counsel.

A boundary that must not be ignored

A supplier statement does not remove the deployer’s duty to assess how the system affects people. Before launch, define decision ownership, escalation rules and a safe way to stop the solution.

How to verify the outcome

For this use case, measure documentation completeness, assessment timeliness, incidents, oversight effectiveness and alignment between real use and stated purpose. Compare the result with the previous workflow and review routine cases separately from difficult exceptions.
