What applies on 2 August 2026 under the AI Act?

The AI Act does not land all at once. Article 113 is the provision that says what applies when: the Regulation applies from 2 August 2026, with earlier dates for some chapters and a later one for Article 6(1). Read it before you plan a deadline around it.

Below is the provision itself, word for word, from the current consolidated version (consolidated 2026-07-27). Check it on EUR-Lex ↗

Your situation is not in the text. The provision above is the law; applying it to your case is the actual work. Ask this in the chat and you get the same verbatim provisions plus a plain-language reading, kept visibly separate. 7-day Pro trial, no card — and it is not legal advice.
