What is EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is the European Union's risk-based regulation of artificial intelligence. It classifies systems by risk level and imposes duties on providers and deployers, including transparency, human oversight, data governance and technical documentation for higher-risk uses.
Also known as: AI Act compliance, EU AI regulation.
For internal knowledge assistants the practical burden is documentation and traceability: what data the system uses, who can access it, how outputs are produced, and how a person can review and override them. Systems that cite their sources and log their retrievals are far cheaper to document than opaque ones.
Switzerland is not bound by the Act, but Swiss providers serving EU customers usually align with it, alongside the Swiss FADP.
How Uthereal handles it
Cortex produces the artefacts compliance teams ask for: source citations, retrieval logs, access records and an egress record.
