Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

On 2 August 2026, the EU AI Act's transparency rules became enforceable and penalties went live across all twenty-seven Member States. Five days earlier, the Digital Omnibus pushed the high-risk regime out to December 2027 and August 2028.Both things are true at once - and almost every briefing written before mid-2026 now gets the calendar wrong. Some still tell you high-risk obligations landed in August 2026. Others concluded the Act was simply delayed, which is the more expensive mistake, because the rules that are live reach far more organizations than the high-risk regime ever will.This book is written for the law as it actually stands. It tells you what binds you today, what lands on a date that belongs in your planning calendar, and what almost certainly never applies to you at all.What's inside- All ten prohibited practices, including the two added in December 2026 - and the two that catch ordinary employers- Article 50 transparency: chatbot disclosure, synthetic content marking, deepfake labeling, and exactly what the grace period covers- High-risk classification, and why "a human makes the final decision" usually isn't enough- GPAI model obligations, systemic risk, and the limits of the open-source relief- Who you are in the value chain - and how rebranding or repurposing a tool can make you its legal provider overnight- A step-by-step compliance program, with documentation that survives audit- Eight appendices: full timeline, obligations by role, Annex III index, penalty tiers, authorities directory, glossaryWritten for founders, compliance and risk professionals, public-sector buyers, lawyers moving into the field, journalists, and engineers who need a working mental model rather than a line-by-line commentary.Legal position stated as of 30 September 2026, reflecting Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. General explanation, not legal advice.
