How do I comply with the EU AI Act for autonomous AI agents?

The EU AI Act classifies autonomous AI agents as high-risk systems requiring risk management, human oversight, transparency, accuracy documentation, and cybersecurity measures — none of which standard agent frameworks provide by default.

Key EU AI Act requirements for autonomous agents:

• Article 9 (Risk Management): Continuous identification and mitigation of risks throughout the AI system lifecycle
• Article 14 (Human Oversight): Ability for humans to understand, monitor, and override AI decisions — including a kill switch
• Article 12 (Record-Keeping): Automatic logging of events during operation with traceability to specific decisions
• Article 15 (Accuracy & Robustness): Protection against adversarial manipulation and security vulnerabilities
• Article 13 (Transparency): Users must understand the AI system's capabilities, limitations, and risks

Non-compliance penalties: up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover.

Exogram satisfies all five requirements through its four-layer architecture. Trust Ledgers (Layer 4) provide Article 12 record-keeping. Operational Boundaries (Layer 3) provide Article 14 human oversight. Deterministic Inference (Layer 2) provides Article 15 adversarial robustness. The complete audit trail provides Article 13 transparency evidence.
