Is your AI agent stack compliant? High-risk AI systems will need audit trails, human oversight, and transparency documentation — or face fines up to 3% of global annual turnover.
The Act regulates high-risk AI systems with specific obligations on providers and deployers.
Agents acting on financial, healthcare, employment, or legal decisions are classified as high-risk under Annex III.
Automatic logging of events throughout the system's lifecycle, sufficient to trace operations.
Effective oversight by humans, with the ability to intervene or interrupt the system.
Detailed records of design, intended purpose, risk management, and post-market monitoring.
Users must be informed they are interacting with an AI system, and outputs labeled where required.
Continuous risk assessment and mitigation across the full lifecycle of the AI system.
Every requirement maps to a concrete Gateplex feature you can demonstrate to an auditor today.
| EU AI Act requirement | Gateplex feature |
|---|---|
| Human oversight (Article 14) | Real-time enforcement with hard-block + human-in-the-loop approval flows |
| Automatic logging (Article 12) | Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail of every agent action |
| Transparency reporting | One-click compliance PDF export, scoped per agent and date range |
| Technical documentation | Versioned guardrail policies and signed configuration history |
| Risk management & monitoring | Live feed, anomaly detection, PII detection, and prompt-injection guards |
| Data governance | EU data residency, redaction of personal data before storage |

Any organization deploying AI agents that affect EU customers or users — even if you are headquartered outside the EU.
Fines for prohibited AI practices reach €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover. High-risk system violations: up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.

The Act entered into force August 2024 with phased application. Obligations for high-risk AI systems — which include most autonomous agents acting in regulated domains — become enforceable in August 2026.
Yes. The Act applies to any provider or deployer whose AI system's output is used in the EU, regardless of where the company is established. This is similar to the extraterritorial reach of GDPR.
Foundation models themselves fall under general-purpose AI rules. Agents built on them become high-risk when used in domains listed in Annex III — credit scoring, employment decisions, healthcare, law enforcement, education, and similar contexts.
Article 12 requires automatic recording of events sufficient to trace the system's operation throughout its lifecycle. Logs must be tamper-evident and retained for an appropriate period — Gateplex's hash-chained logs satisfy this requirement.
Gateplex sits in front of every agent action and can enforce hard blocks, require human approval for sensitive operations, and surface real-time alerts to your operators — meeting the Article 14 obligation for effective human oversight.
Up to €35M or 7% of global annual turnover for prohibited practices; up to €15M or 3% for high-risk system violations; up to €7.5M or 1.5% for supplying incorrect information to authorities.
