A realistic market analysis of EU AI Act compliance costs: from a few thousand euros for an SME deployer to hundreds of thousands for providers of high-risk AI. With cost categories, market prices and subsidies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An operational do-it-yourself checklist per transparency obligation under Article 50: chatbot disclosure, machine-readable marking of synthetic content, emotion recognition and public-interest text, plus vendor contract clauses and documentation.
