A practical checklist that translates each obligation under Article 26 of the AI Act into concrete actions, assigned responsibilities and required documentation for deployers of high-risk AI systems — covering Art. 26(1)–(12), Art. 27 (FRIA) and Art. 49(3).
Misinformation is circulating about deployer obligations. This post sets the record straight: definition of deployer (Art. 3(4)), actual obligations (Art. 26 for high-risk only), official materials on transparency (Art. 50), the Commission’s position on AI agents (AI Act Service Desk FAQ), correct deadlines (Art. 113), actual penalties (Art. 99) and an operational framework for businesses and professionals.
