Serious Incident Reporting under the EU AI Act (Article 73)

This skill helps assess whether an event involving an AI system triggers serious-incident reporting duties under Article 73 EU AI Act, and then turns that legal analysis into a practical response plan, draft notification, and internal action list.

It is designed for providers, deployers, legal/compliance teams, product leads, and incident-response teams that need a usable process rather than abstract commentary.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• assess whether an AI-related event qualifies as a serious incident under the EU AI Act
• decide whether a system is in scope because it is actually high-risk
• determine when reporting must happen and under which deadline bucket
• identify the market surveillance authority to notify
• prepare a practical Article 73 report
• understand deployer notification duties under Article 26(5)
• coordinate Article 73 with GDPR, NIS2, medical device, machinery, or product safety reporting
• create an internal incident playbook, escalation matrix, or management briefing
