      <title>Agentic AI under the EU AI Act: how to govern autonomous agents</title>
      <link>https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/agentic-ai-under-the-eu-ai-act</link>

      <description>AI agents that execute tasks autonomously fall squarely under the EU AI Act through the definition in Article 3(1). The complete guide: the risk ladder applied to agents, the roles in the value chain, GDPR Article 22 as the boundary that applies today, and a governance framework covering permissions, oversight, logging and a kill switch.</description>

      <title>AI Act, NIS2 and DORA: one control set, three regulatory views</title>
      <link>https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/ai-act-nis2-dora-one-control-set</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/ai-act-nis2-dora-one-control-set</guid>
      <description>The AI Act, NIS2 and DORA largely regulate the same underlying capabilities: risk management, incidents, third parties, governance and logging. Here is how to build a single control set where each law becomes a view, instead of running three parallel compliance programmes.</description>

      <description>A letter from the Dutch DPA or another European regulator about your AI systems rarely arrives at a convenient moment. This is the file you need ready within weeks: from an AI inventory and risk classifications to DPIAs, Article 50 measures and evidence of AI literacy.</description>

      <description>The Dutch Data Protection Authority coordinates algorithm supervision, the RDI covers the technical side, sectoral regulators keep their own turf and Brussels supervises GPAI itself. What is already settled, what still depends on the Dutch implementation act, and who will actually send the letter.</description>

      <title>Does an AI agent fall under the EU AI Act?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/does-an-ai-agent-fall-under-the-eu-ai-act</guid>
      <description>Yes. AI agents are AI systems under Article 3(1) of the AI Act, autonomy is literally part of the definition. There is no separate agent regime. What this means per risk category, who carries what when agents run on GPAI models, and what changes when an agent acts autonomously.</description>

      <description>Medical AI software classified as MDR class IIa or higher becomes high-risk under the AI Act through Article 6(1). That does not mean running a second certification track: the AI Act requirements are folded into the existing notified body assessment. Here is how to avoid duplicating work.</description>

      <description>Fine-tune a model, white-label a purchased tool or repurpose an AI system, and under Article 25 of the AI Act you may become the provider yourself. The three routes explained, with the practical reality of GPT fine-tunes, rebranded tools and RAG applications.</description>

      <title>Who is responsible for EU AI Act compliance: the board, the DPO, the CISO, or an AI officer?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/who-is-responsible-for-ai-act-compliance</guid>
      <description>The EU AI Act does not mandate any specific compliance officer. Responsibility sits with the organisation itself, and therefore with the board. Here is a workable division of roles across the board, process owners, the DPO, the CISO and compliance.</description>

      <description>An AI agent that acts autonomously can make mistakes with real consequences. Who carries the responsibility? The chain explained: model provider, platform provider and deployer, plus what boards and legal counsel should assign internally today.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/works-council-consent-ai-in-the-workplace</guid>
      <description>In many cases, yes. Under Dutch law, once an AI tool processes employee personal data or is capable of monitoring behaviour or performance, the works council has a right of consent under Article 27 of the Works Councils Act. Here is when that applies and how to handle it well.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/ai-inventory-register-required-eu-ai-act</guid>
      <description>The EU AI Act never literally requires an internal AI register, yet without an inventory you cannot demonstrably comply with almost any obligation. What the law actually demands, what regulators expect and how to build a register that stays alive.</description>

      <title>Machine-readable marking of AI content: what providers must arrange from 2 August 2026</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/ai-content-machine-readable-marking-ai-act-2026</guid>
      <description>From 2 August 2026, providers of AI systems that generate synthetic audio, image, video or text must ensure the output is marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as artificially generated or manipulated. The duty sits with the provider, the solution must be effective and interoperable, and systems already on the market have a backstop until 2 December 2026.</description>

      <description>From 2 August 2026, anyone who uses AI to generate or manipulate text that is published to inform the public on matters of public interest must disclose that the text is artificial. The duty sits with the deployer, the scope is narrow, and it falls away when a human holds editorial responsibility after substantive review. Text is not a deepfake.</description>

      <description>The transparency obligations under Article 50 are enforceable from 2 August 2026 and were not postponed by the Digital Omnibus. A breach can lead to a fine of up to 15 million euro or 3 percent of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Enforcement sits with the national market surveillance authorities. The duty is direct: disclose the use of AI clearly and in time, and build an evidence layer.</description>

      <description>From 2 August 2026, anyone who provides an AI system that interacts directly with people must design that system so the person knows they are dealing with AI. The duty sits with the provider, it is a design duty, and the disclosure must be clear and distinguishable at the latest at first interaction. Disclosing alone is not enough if the chatbot steers users.</description>

      <description>From 2 August 2026, anyone who uses AI to generate or manipulate a deepfake must disclose that the content is artificially generated. This covers image, audio and video that appear authentic, not text. The duty sits with the deployer, the disclosure must be clear and given at the latest at first exposure, and a lighter form applies to artistic or satirical work.</description>

      <title>Emotion recognition and biometric categorisation: inform, or simply prohibited?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/emotion-recognition-biometrics-transparency-ai-act-2026</guid>
      <description>Article 50(3) of the AI Act requires deployers to inform people when a system for emotion recognition or biometric categorisation is applied to them. But transparency is not the first question: many of these uses are already prohibited under Article 5. So test the prohibition first, and only then the disclosure duty that applies from 2 August 2026.</description>

      <description>The transparency obligations under Article 50 of the AI Act start on 2 August 2026 and were not postponed by the Digital Omnibus. From that date a chatbot must disclose that it is AI, generated audio, image, video and text must carry machine-readable marking, and deepfakes must be made recognisable as artificial. For systems already on the market before 2 August 2026, the machine-readable marking has a transition period until 2 December 2026.</description>

      <description>You assess an AI vendor under the AI Act by asking up front for the risk classification, conformity, technical documentation, transparency under Article 50, data governance and GPAI status, recording that in your procurement file, and splitting the provider and deployer obligations in the contract. Below are the question list, the contract clauses and the role split.</description>

      <description>No single tool covers the whole AI Act. GRC governance software handles system governance, AI register tools maintain the inventory, people-evidence platforms such as LearnWize produce role-based Article 4 evidence, readiness scans tell you where you stand, and consultancy such as Embed AI does the work. This comparison shows where each category is strong and weak so you can combine them deliberately.</description>

      <title>Best EU AI Act Training Platforms Compared: Five Types of Offering Side by Side</title>
      <link>https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/best-eu-ai-act-training-platforms-comparison</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/best-eu-ai-act-training-platforms-comparison</guid>
      <description>There is no single best EU AI Act training platform, but five types of offering that each serve a different purpose: role-based evidence platforms, generic online courses, LMS distribution, GRC tools, and consultancy. Which one fits depends on whether you mainly want to transfer knowledge, build Article 4 evidence, or set up your wider AI Act approach.</description>

      <title>The Digital Omnibus and the AI Act: What Changes and What to Do Now</title>
      <link>https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/digital-omnibus-ai-act-what-changes-what-now-2026</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/digital-omnibus-ai-act-what-changes-what-now-2026</guid>
      <description>The Digital Omnibus postpones the high-risk obligations for standalone Annex III systems to 2 December 2027 and softens the wording of Article 4 AI literacy, but leaves Article 50 transparency in place from 2 August 2026. The European Parliament endorsed the text on 16 June 2026, but as of late June 2026 it is not yet in the Official Journal. Until publication, the original AI Act remains the binding law. Plan against the original dates and use any postponement to get ahead, not to delay.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.aiactblog.nl/en/posts/proving-ai-literacy-evidence-ai-act</guid>
      <description>You prove AI literacy under Article 4 of the AI Act by recording, per role, who received which training, assessment and guidance, and organising that into an evidence file with assessments, learning paths, training records and certificates. There is no mandatory standard certificate, only demonstrably appropriate measures.</description>
