Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What deadlines must high-risk AI systems already in use meet under the AI Act?
High-risk AI systems placed on the market or put into service before Chapter III applies (2 December 2027 for Annex III, 2 August 2028 for Annex I) fall under the Act only if their designs change significantly from that date, but those intended for public authorities must comply by 2 August 2030 even if unchanged. AI components of Annex X large-scale IT systems placed on the market or put into service before 2 August 2027 have until 31 December 2030. The Article 5 prohibitions always apply.
When must existing general-purpose AI models comply with the new AI Act?
Providers of general-purpose AI models placed on the market before 2 August 2025 must take the necessary steps to comply with the AI Act’s obligations by 2 August 2027 (Article 111(3)), two years after the obligations for general-purpose AI models started to apply on 2 August 2025.
What are the requirements for large-scale IT systems already using AI according to the AI Act?
Large-scale IT systems containing AI components already placed on the market before 2 August 2027 need to comply fully with the AI Act by 31 December 2030, and evaluations required by their governing regulations must also consider AI Act compliance when these regulations are revised or updated.
If older AI systems remain unchanged, will they still need to be updated to comply with the AI Act?
It depends. The Article 5 prohibitions always apply. High-risk AI systems placed on the market or put into service before Chapter III applies to them (2 December 2027 for Annex III, 2 August 2028 for Annex I) fall under the AI Act only if their designs change significantly from that date, but those for public authorities must comply by 2 August 2030 even if unchanged. Some must comply even if unchanged: generative AI systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026 must meet Article 50(2) by 2 December 2026, general-purpose AI models placed on the market before 2 August 2025 have until 2 August 2027, and AI components of Annex X large-scale IT systems placed on the market or put into service before 2 August 2027 until 31 December 2030. Other AI systems get no transition period.
