Your AI system makes thousands of decisions per day. It screens candidates, scores credit applications, flags anomalies, or suggests diagnoses. Now imagine a regulator asks you to reconstruct a single decision from six months ago — the inputs, the logic, the output, and who reviewed it. Can you? That is what Article 12 of the EU AI Act demands. And unlike Article 11, which requires documentation on paper, Article 12 is a technical construction requirement. Your system itself

In our previous article, we explained what Article 11 requires — the 9 chapters of Annex IV, the SME track, and how the technical documentation connects to almost every other obligation in the AI Act. Now the question is: how do you actually build it? Theory is useful. But when you sit down to create your technical documentation, you need a concrete process — not just a list of requirements. In this article, we walk through the entire documentation process step by step, using

Article 10 in Practice: How to Build Compliant Data Governance for High-Risk AI Article 10 tells you what compliant data governance looks like. But knowing the requirements and actually implementing them are two different things. How do you document design decisions in practice? How do you examine datasets for bias? How do you map your data to the stakeholders it affects? This guide answers those questions with a step-by-step methodology you can follow today. We'll use a runn

Article 10 EU AI Act: Data and Data Governance Explained If Article 9 is the heart of high-risk AI compliance, Article 10 is the bloodstream. It governs everything that flows into your AI system: the data that trains it, validates it, and tests it. Get data governance wrong, and no amount of risk management will save you. Article 10 establishes requirements for data and data governance that apply to all high-risk AI systems — and it's the article with the closest connection t

You've run the analysis. Your AI system is classified as High-Risk . Now what? If you've followed our KI-Verordnung Framework guide, you know the four steps to clarity: 1. Scope Check — Does the AI Act apply? ✓ 2. Risk Classification — What's the risk level? ✓ 3. Role Determination — Provider, Deployer, or both? ✓ 4. Obligations — What must you do? ← You are here For High-Risk AI systems, one of the most critical obligations is Article 9: the Risk Management System (RMS) . In
