EU AI Act Operational Readiness

The first priority for many B2B firms is transparency: where AI is used, who is responsible, what is generated, what is verifiable and what evidence exists.

Five operational blocks

AI Disclosure

Clearly identify AI interaction and AI-generated outputs.

Traceability

Maintain versions, timestamps, provenance, logs and approvals.

Responsibility

Define legal entity, contact point, governance owner and escalation path.

Machine-readable Governance

Create structured AI declarations and transparency metadata.

Evidence

Move from “we claim” to “we can demonstrate.”

Continuous Review

Monitor suppliers, incidents, changes and operational drift.
