AI Governance Briefing — August 8, 2025
After the EU AI Act's general-purpose AI rules took effect, Zeph Tech is auditing Article 53 documentation, disclosures, and deployer communications to evidence first-week compliance.
Executive briefing: The EU AI Act’s GPAI transparency and support obligations entered into application on . Zeph Tech is executing a first-week audit that verifies Article 53 technical files, confirms training-data summaries were published, and logs every deployer communication required by Article 53(4). The review produces evidence packages regulators can request during the opening enforcement sweeps.
Regulatory checkpoints
- Technical documentation currency. Article 53 requires living documentation—Zeph Tech is checking that post-2 August model releases appended updated architectures, benchmarks, and mitigation notes.
- Publication proof. Providers must share a concise summary of training data; the audit confirms summaries were posted to the EU database and internal repositories with immutable timestamps.
- Deployer notifications. Article 53(4) communications sent on or before are archived with read receipts and support ticket IDs.
Control alignment
- Internal audit coordination. Incorporate GPAI obligations into Zeph Tech’s internal audit plan so findings track remediation owners, due dates, and residual risk scores.
- Regulator readiness. Stage evidence folders that map each Article 53 requirement to supporting artefacts for rapid production during market-surveillance requests.
Detection and response priorities
- Monitor documentation repositories for unapproved edits that could break audit trails; require dual-approval for post-go-live updates.
- Trigger corrective-action workflows when training-data summaries or support communications lag, escalating to compliance leadership within 24 hours.
Enablement moves
- Deliver executive readouts summarising first-week compliance metrics and outstanding remediation items.
- Refresh customer success runbooks with lessons learned from the opening audit, highlighting recurring evidence requests from EU clients.
- Schedule a follow-up audit for late August to track sustained compliance as model updates roll out.
