Five things people get wrong about the AI Act
The Act attracts a lot of hearsay. Here's what it actually says — each answer links to the provision it rests on.

The AI Act, the Data Act and the Data Governance Act are EU regulations — they apply directly in every member state, with no transposition. What each country adds in its own law is who supervises them, how complaints and sandboxes work and how penalties are handled. Those national laws are tracked here live:AI Act, Akt o údajoch aj Akt o správe údajov sú nariadenia EÚ — platia priamo v každom členskom štáte, bez transpozície. Čo si každá krajina dopĺňa vlastným zákonom, je, kto na ne dohliada, ako fungujú sťažnosti a sandboxy a ako sa riešia pokuty. Tieto národné zákony tu sledujeme naživo:Akt o AI, akt o datech i akt o správě dat jsou nařízení EU — platí přímo v každém členském státě, bez transpozice. Co si každá země doplňuje vlastním zákonem, je, kdo nad nimi dohlíží, jak fungují stížnosti a sandboxy a jak se řeší pokuty. Tyto národní zákony zde sledujeme průběžně:Die KI-Verordnung, die Datenverordnung und der Daten-Governance-Rechtsakt sind EU-Verordnungen — sie gelten unmittelbar in jedem Mitgliedstaat, ohne Umsetzung. Was jedes Land in seinem eigenen Recht ergänzt, ist, wer die Aufsicht führt, wie Beschwerden und Reallabore funktionieren und wie Sanktionen gehandhabt werden. Diese nationalen Gesetze werden hier laufend verfolgt:Akt w sprawie sztucznej inteligencji, akt w sprawie danych i akt w sprawie zarządzania danymi są rozporządzeniami UE — stosuje się je bezpośrednio w każdym państwie członkowskim, bez transpozycji. To, co każdy kraj dodaje we własnym prawie, to kto je nadzoruje, jak działają skargi i piaskownice regulacyjne oraz jak nakłada się kary. Te krajowe ustawy śledzimy tu na bieżąco:

60 seconds: where do you fall?
Two questions, then a tailored starting point that opens into the full guide. A screening aid, not legal advice.
The guide
Does it apply to me — and what exactly do I have to do?
Four questions decide which regime you fall under. Then pick your role and follow the exact path the Act itself prescribes — every step is a real provision you can read in one click.
What's at stake
What a breach can cost
Fines scale with the violation and your worldwide turnover — a fixed ceiling or a percentage, whichever is higher (for SMEs, whichever is lower).
Illustrative maxima under Art 99 and Art 101 — not legal or financial advice.
The Act itself
One law, five regimes, 119 articles
The pyramid is the Act's logic: the rarer the use-case, the harder the rules. The spine below is every article in order — click anything to read it in English, Slovak, Czech, German and Polish.

Audit
Point it at your project, get an AI Act gap report
Run an AI coding agent (e.g. Claude Code) inside your repository with this server connected, invoke the audit prompt, and it will inventory your AI capabilities, classify their risk, and check the key obligations for your role against your code and docs — with file-level evidence.
Inventory
The agent scans your repo for AI capabilities: models, APIs, automated decisions, generated content.
Classify
Each capability is screened against Art 5, Annex III and GPAI rules — verified against the actual provision text.
Gap-check
Obligations for your role are checked as covered / partial / missing, citing your files as evidence.
Deadlines
Every finding carries its date — binding law today vs. post-Omnibus — so you know what's urgent.
The slash command works in an interactive session. For CI or headless runs, pull the prompt via prompts/get and pass it as text.
Going deeper: obligations about data (Art 10, 12, 19) can only be verified against what is actually stored — file sizes, ages, and whether any job deletes them. With read-only file tools the audit cannot see that and will mark those rows [unverified]. Two ways to close them. Preferred, and the right default for a device holding personal data: let the audit tell you which read-only commands to run, run them yourself and paste the output back — the agent never gets elevated rights. Or grant a shell allowlist. Note honestly what that costs: a plain Bash(sudo ls:*) does not work, because globs expand as the unprivileged user, so the agent needs Bash(sudo bash -c:*) — and that pattern matches any command, so it is effectively unrestricted root. In that mode the read-only property rests on the prompt and on your approval gate, not on the allowlist.
Technical screening with citations — not legal advice. The report is a head start for your lawyer, not a replacement. The audit prompt never modifies files, creates or deletes anything, or executes your code. With read-only file tools that is enforced by the toolset itself; if you grant a shell, it is enforced by your client's permissions and the prompt — so keep the allowlist read-only.
