When does AI governance become mandatory?
The AI Act enters into force in stages. Since February 2025, the training obligation under Art. 4 applies: all employees who operate or oversee AI systems must have sufficient AI competency. From August 2025, the prohibitions on unacceptable AI practices take effect. From August 2026, the full requirements for high-risk AI systems apply: documentation, risk management, monitoring, auditability.
GDPR has applied since 2018 to all AI systems that process personal data. NIS2 has been in force as an EU directive since October 2024 and is being transposed into national law. Anyone using AI in production should build governance now, not wait until the last deadline hits.
