EU AI Act · Article 12

Automatic event logging.

Applies to: High-risk AI providers.

What the signed record shows

The signed hash-chained ledger is the automatic event log over the system's lifetime.

The proof is a signed, tamper-evident record. Anyone can check it, free, without an account, and nothing has to leave the building to make it. Evidence, not a promise.

When it applies. Stand-alone high-risk from 2 December 2027, embedded high-risk from 2 August 2028, under Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.
