Civic intelligence prototype
An experiment in explaining, tracking and discussing real legislation. It is not an official parliamentary service, and nothing on it is a vote, a poll or legal advice. Records were verified on 2026-09-23; always check the official page for each law before relying on it.
European Parliament and Council — in force, applying in stages to 2028
EU ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ACT (REGULATION (EU) 2024/1689), AS AMENDED BY THE DIGITAL OMNIBUS ON AI
It is the first broad AI law of its kind and sets rules that many non-EU providers follow in practice, so the deferrals and the new prohibitions change compliance planning worldwide.
How this dossier is put together
- Each dossier covers one piece of legislation, chosen because it is prominent and well documented.
- Every factual claim is tied to a primary source listed in the sources card, with the date it was checked.
- Influence entries describe recorded, published contact only. They are neutral descriptions, never conclusions.
- Arguments for and against are summarised from the positions organisations have put on the public record, without endorsement.
- Where evidence is contested or missing, it is listed under uncertainties rather than resolved.
- Nothing here is party-political, and no colour, symbol or ordering is intended to signal a party.
