EU AI Act Guide

EU AI Act for enterprise software

Enterprise software teams should map where AI is embedded into workflows, who relies on outputs, whether EU users or customers are affected and which controls, documentation and oversight are needed before scaling.

Operational information, not legal advice.

Role operating model

EU AI Act for Enterprise Software

1

Function

Clarify which team owns the AI system, workflow or governance decision.

2

Responsibility

Separate strategic accountability from operational execution, review and evidence upkeep.

3

Evidence owner

Assign documentation, controls and audit evidence to a maintainable owner.

4

Handoff

Connect legal, product, technical and governance work into one operating rhythm.

Operating model

Function, responsibility, evidence ownership and handoff define how AI governance work can actually move.

Strategic answer

Enterprise software teams should map embedded AI across business workflows.

Enterprise software often hides AI inside workflows, analytics, automation, recommendations or decision support. EU AI Act readiness requires teams to know where AI exists, who uses it, who is affected and how evidence is maintained.

Start with the EU AI Act Diagnostic, turn findings into an implementation plan, and see how the diagnostic works as a reference app on M13.

Exposure focus

What enterprise software teams should inspect

  • AI embedded in products, workflows, dashboards or automation.
  • Customer-facing and internal operational use cases.
  • Provider, deployer or integration role signals.
  • Monitoring, documentation and human oversight evidence.
