Key EU AI Act articles AuditGuard audits against

AuditGuard's database contains 175 EU AI Act articles. Below are the most-cited sections in real-world enforcement actions. Every AuditGuard finding references a specific article ID.

Art. 5 — Prohibited AI Practices

Eight categories of prohibited AI (social scoring, real-time biometric ID in public, etc.) enforced from 2 Feb 2025. Highest penalty tier.

Art. 9 — Risk Management System

High-risk AI providers must establish, document, and maintain a continuous risk-management process; vendor contracts must reference it.

Art. 14 — Human Oversight

Effective human oversight measures; AI-vendor contracts frequently lack defined override and intervention procedures.

Art. 50 — Transparency Obligations

Users must be informed they are interacting with AI; synthetic content (deepfakes) must be labelled.

Art. 51–56 — General-Purpose AI

GPAI provider obligations effective 2 Aug 2025; technical documentation, copyright policies, summary of training data.

Art. 99 — Penalties

Three-tier classification correctly applied: Art. 99(3) for prohibited, 99(4) for high-risk, 99(5) for incorrect info; SME rule at 99(6).

Frequently asked questions

When does the EU AI Act apply to me?
Application dates are staggered: Art. 5 prohibitions effective 2 Feb 2025; GPAI obligations and penalties (Art. 99) effective 2 Aug 2025; general provisions effective 2 Aug 2026; Annex I high-risk AI effective 2 Aug 2027. Extraterritorial scope under Art. 2 means non-EU providers placing AI on the EU market are also covered.
How does AuditGuard classify penalty tiers?
AuditGuard correctly applies the Article 99 three-tier classification: Art. 99(3) up to €35M / 7% for prohibited AI under Art. 5; Art. 99(4) up to €15M / 3% for high-risk violations; Art. 99(5) up to €7.5M / 1.5% for incorrect information. The Art. 99(6) SME rule (lower of percentage or fixed amount) is applied where applicable.
Can AuditGuard audit an AI-vendor contract?
Yes — this is a primary use case. AuditGuard verifies that AI-vendor contracts include the technical documentation, risk-management, human-oversight, transparency, and data-governance clauses required for the AI system's risk classification.
Does AuditGuard track the EU AI Act + GDPR interplay?
Yes — EDPB Opinion 28/2024 on AI models and GDPR is included in the GDPR module. Where an AI system also processes personal data, AuditGuard surfaces both EU AI Act and GDPR findings in a single audit.
