EU’s AI Act: New Obligations Are Here — Is Your Business Ready?

As of August 2, 2025, a new wave of the EU's AI Act officially came into force, introducing foundational governance provisions and compliance responsibilities that no company can afford to ignore.

The New Regulatory Landscape

  • Governance obligations: According to DLA Piper, businesses operating in the EU must now meet baseline governance requirements, including documentation of AI processes and stronger oversight of how AI is integrated into daily operations.

  • Guidelines for General-Purpose AI (GPAI): In July 2025, the European Commission issued new guidance for providers of GPAI models, clarifying obligations around transparency, copyright, and systemic risk mitigation, as highlighted by Eversheds Sutherland.

  • Voluntary Code of Practice: The EU also introduced a Code of Practice for GPAI to help organizations anticipate compliance demands before enforcement escalates (AP News).

Together, these measures mark a decisive shift: compliance with the AI Act is no longer optional, nor theoretical-it's here.

The Compliance Challenge

For many organizations, the immediate challenge is clear:

  • How do we ensure our AI outputs are traceable and defensible?

  • How do we prove governance when auditors arrive?

  • How do we align with transparency and copyright requirements when our teams are still adjusting to AI adoption itself?

The risk is not just penalties. The bigger threat is the operational chaos of scrambling to retroactively "clean up" AI outputs, reports, and documentation once regulators start checking.

Where ALLOS Makes the Difference

ALLOS was designed with governance and traceability at its core:

  • Every report generated in Excel or Word is fully auditable and linked to governed data sources.

  • AI-enhanced summaries and documents come with clear provenance, reducing the risk of "black box" decision-making.

  • Audit trails are automatic (not an afterthought) meaning compliance is built into daily operations.

Instead of rushing to retrofit compliance later, ALLOS ensures you are ready from day one.

Why It Matters Now

The EU's new AI governance rules are only the beginning. Enforcement will tighten, expectations will rise, and businesses that fail to prepare will find themselves drowning in both cost and complexity.

ALLOS gives you a way to meet these standards quietly, effectively, and without changing how your team’s work.

Because the truth is simple:

You don't need more dashboards. You need governance that works in the background-keeping you compliant, confident, and in control.
