The EU AI Act is a stack: Article 4 literacy, Article 5 prohibited practices, Articles 6 to 49 high-risk obligations, Article 26 deployer duties, Article 27 fundamental rights impact assessment, Article 50 transparency, Article 71 EU database registration, Article 72 post-market monitoring, Article 73 incident reporting, Article 99 penalties. This pillar walks the stack end to end with deadlines, documentation, and the audit trail.
Compliance is where the EU AI Act stops being a regulation and starts being a programme. The headline is Article 99 penalties at EUR 35 million or 7% of turnover, but the operational reality is documentation, dates, and roles. The 2 February 2025 prohibited-practice clock is live. Article 4 literacy is live. GPAI Articles 50-55 are live since 2 August 2025. Article 6 high-risk Annex III obligations land 2 December 2027 (delayed from 2 August 2026 by the Omnibus deal of 7 May 2026); Annex I embedded high-risk AI lands 2 August 2028.
