Summary

This compliance guide details the AI Act obligations for businesses in 2026: mandatory training since February 2025, transparency since August 2026, and Annex III high-risk systems only from December 2027. It draws on several reports with figures: at Oracle, ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex reach 80% adoption in three months without speeding up delivery to customers; at Thomson Reuters, 87% of employees use AI daily; according to Kirsty Roth, 91% of professionals believe their organisation is not getting the full value from AI. EY reports a 60% reduction in token consumption thanks to an AI router, and 98% of 534 decision-makers are reviewing their approach to costs. IBM finds that 92% of companies affected by AI-related breaches had inadequate access controls. PwC notes a lack of clarity over who is responsible for managing AI. Naaia has raised €6 million for its compliance platform.
