EU AI ACT

The EU AI Act - what it means for your organisation

The EU regulation on artificial intelligence is already in force in Poland. Understand the obligations, deadlines and sanctions - and how to get your organisation ready.

Already in force in Poland

The EU regulation imposes obligations on organisations to govern AI use.

"If employees use AI tools, the organisation may be subject to AI Act compliance obligations."

The AI Act is an EU regulation governing how organisations may use artificial intelligence. It covers any situation in which employees use AI-enabled tools at work - including browsers, search engines or content-generating systems. The rules are already in force in Poland.

From 2 February 2025

provisions on AI literacy and prohibited AI practices apply. Your staff should have been trained months ago.

From 2 August 2026

a documented approach to due diligence matters more and more: AI policies and procedures, risk assessment, a tool register, an incident register, full documentation and reporting - so the organisation is ready to answer questions during an inspection or a security incident.

The AI Act is now in force. The AI Act applies essentially in full from 2 August 2026 - documented diligence is what counts.

AI Act sanctions

Up to €35M or 7%
of global annual turnover

for the most serious breaches, e.g. prohibited AI practices.

Up to €15M or 3%
of global annual turnover

for breaches of obligations regarding AI systems, including for deployers.

Up to €7.5M or 1%
of global annual turnover

for providing false, incomplete or misleading information to authorities.

The AI Act does not apply identically to every organisation. The scope of obligations and sanctions depends on the role of the organisation, how it uses AI and the risk level of the AI system in question.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Does the AI Act apply to my organisation?

    Most likely yes. If your employees use AI-enabled tools at work - even browsers, search engines or content generators - your organisation may fall under AI Act obligations. The rules are not limited to technology companies.

  • When do the rules apply and what are the deadlines?

    The AI Act applies in stages. AI literacy and the prohibited-practice rules have applied since 2 February 2025, general-purpose AI model rules since 2 August 2025, and from 2 August 2026 the regulation applies essentially in full (with exceptions). For many organisations this means a documented approach matters more and more: policies, registers, training, risk assessment and records of action.

  • Is AI TrustCERT a training or a compliance support system?

    AI TrustCERT combines both. The organisation buys training licences for its staff, and within those licences it gets access to the AI Governance platform - with policies, AI registers, risk assessment and action documentation. The training is the core product, and the platform lets you put the knowledge into practice.

  • How long does implementation take?

    From 1 to 7 days. You open the platform and add users on day one, ready-made AI Literacy training starts immediately, and completing policies and registers usually takes 7-14 days.

  • How much does it cost?

    Individual access to the courses is 699 PLN per person per year. The organisation programme with the platform included starts at 6,990 PLN per year (from 10 people). See our pricing and contact us for details.

  • Does the AI Act replace GDPR?

    No. The AI Act and GDPR are separate, complementary regulations. Our training and policies also cover AI use in the context of data protection, GDPR and information security.

  • What due-diligence evidence does AI TrustCERT help collect?

    The system helps document your organisation's actions: training, policy acknowledgements, an AI tool register, risk assessment, procedures, reports and an action history - with a dashboard and readiness report for the board, HR, compliance or IT. The scope of required evidence depends on how AI is actually used, your organisation's role, industry and implemented processes.

  • Do the courses end with a certificate?

    Yes. Every course ends with an exam and a certificate - classic or micro-credential, depending on the implementation level. Certificates confirm course completion and competence within the AI Literacy programme - they are not a certificate of the organisation's compliance with the AI Act.

  • What is the AI Ready Check?

    A free diagnostic tool. In about 3 minutes, with no commitment, you get an initial indication of which AI Act obligations may apply to your organisation. It runs in your browser.
