EU AI Act — A CHRO Cheatsheet
The Act distinguishes between providers (who build the system) and operators (who put it to work). Most CHROs are operators.
What you owe, as operator
- Use the system as documented; do not exceed its intended purpose.
- Maintain logs for the periods required by the Act.
- Ensure human oversight is meaningful, not ceremonial.
- Inform affected workers and their representatives in good time.
What you do not owe
- You are not the provider, so you do not certify the model.
- You are not exempt either: misuse falls on you.
This is a cheatsheet, not advice. Talk to counsel before you sign anything.
