Which dates of the AI Act apply to your system?
Answer the questions. Alongside, your deadline plan takes shape: all eight dates of the regulation, with the ones that affect your system highlighted, each with the obligations behind it.
The classification questions
37 Days until 2 December 2026. Two further prohibitions then apply, and generative systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026 must have retrofitted their marking.
An older link referred to “essential services” under Annex III point 5. This area is now split into four cases; please select the one that applies in question 4.
