What we treat as authoritative

EUAIACTUS.COM uses primary legal materials and official institutional guidance as the foundation for substantive analysis. Commentary on this site is designed to help U.S. organisations operationalize those materials; it does not replace the official text.

Primary law

The Official Journal text and consolidated versions of the Artificial Intelligence Act are the starting point for legal analysis.

Legislative history

European Parliament

Parliamentary materials are useful for legislative history and institutional context. Current obligations should still be checked against the law in force and subsequent official measures.

Current implementation

Application dates & official FAQs

Because implementation dates and transitional rules can change, date-sensitive guidance should be verified against the Commission and AI Act Service Desk before relying on older summaries.

How EUAIACTUS.COM uses these sources

Primary law first. U.S. operational context second.

1. Verify status

We distinguish binding law, amended text, official guidance, proposals and secondary analysis.

2. Map the U.S. nexus

We assess territorial scope, actor role, system classification and cross-border facts before discussing obligations.

3. Build evidence

We translate applicable requirements into governance, documentation, controls and implementation evidence.

Last substantive review: 27 September 2026. Official sources may change; use the linked institutional pages to confirm the latest status.
