1. Problem Statement
The European Union AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation. It entered into force on 2 August 2024, with phased application:
- February 2025: Art. 5 (Prohibited Practices) enforceable
- August 2025: Chapter 5 (GPAI obligations) enforceable
- August 2026: Full application (high-risk, deployer obligations)
Any AI system placed on the EU market, or whose output is used within the EU, must comply. Non-compliance penalties reach €35M or 7% of global annual turnover for prohibited practices.
AIGP currently provides the mechanisms for governance (CHECK, RECORD, TRACE, FEEDBACK, evidence chains, human oversight) but does not encode the specific regulatory requirements of the EU AI Act as enforceable protocol-level rules. Operators must manually configure policies to achieve compliance.
This RFC proposes:
- A
regulatory_contextdeclaration (analogous to RFC-027’shumanitarian_context) - Non-derogable rules for Art. 5 prohibited practices
- Mandatory governance mechanisms for high-risk AI systems (Art. 6-49)
- Transparency obligations for general-purpose AI (Art. 50-56)
- FRIA (Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment) signal (Art. 27)
- Post-market monitoring integration (Art. 72-73)
- Conformity assessment evidence (Art. 43-49)
