Official source reviewed 12 May 2026.

What changed

The 12 May 2026 official source check confirmed the Commission frames the AI Act around risk levels, prohibited-practice rules already active from 2025, and stricter obligations for high-risk systems.

Why it matters for teams

AI product, SaaS, HR-tech, and customer-facing AI teams should use this as an early evidence and owner-readiness prompt before making public claims or sending sensitive material.

First practical question

Which public AI claims and workflows already have owners and evidence?

Checklist starter

  • List public AI claims.
  • Map feature, workflow, and owner.
  • Identify any prohibited-practice or high-risk-screening red flags.
  • Collect AI literacy, governance, logging, and documentation evidence.
  • Separate operational readiness questions from legal classification decisions.
