EU AI Act High-Risk Implementation Readiness

Use this skill when a system has already been classified as potentially high-risk under the EU AI Act and the user now needs to understand what must actually be implemented, documented, assigned, tested, and governed.

If the system has not yet been classified, use the EU AI Act System Classifier first.

This skill is designed as a practical readiness assessment and implementation navigator for:

• Providers of high-risk AI systems
• Deployers of high-risk AI systems
• Internal legal, compliance, product, engineering, security, risk, procurement, and management teams
• Especially DACH-based organizations preparing for real operational compliance work before the high-risk obligations apply

Important timing note: The current-law date for Annex III high-risk obligations is 2 August 2026. The Digital Omnibus simplification package (Commission proposal December 2025) progressed to a Council/Parliament provisional political agreement on 7 May 2026; under that agreement, Annex III would shift to 2 December 2027 and Annex I to 2 August 2028. The agreement is not yet adopted law — pending formal adoption and Official Journal publication. Build for the law as enacted unless and until amendments are formally adopted and in force. If the user explicitly wants scenario planning around potential delays, note the provisional agreement as context but do not rewrite obligations based on it alone.
