AIGO — EU AI Act Main Mapping

1. Document Purpose

This document provides the principal AIGO mapping between the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act and the AIGO AI Governance Operating Framework. It establishes the primary relationship between:
  • EU AI Act requirements;
  • applicability conditions;
  • regulated actors;
  • AI-system categories;
  • AIGO governance domains;
  • AIGO risks;
  • AIGO controls;
  • AIGO assessments;
  • AIGO approvals;
  • AIGO monitoring;
  • AIGO incidents;
  • AIGO change management;
  • AIGO assurance;
  • AIGO evidence;
  • AIGO management review;
  • AIGO improvement; and
  • AIGO retirement.
This document is the master mapping. Detailed subject-specific mappings are maintained in the other EU AI Act mapping documents within: mappings/eu-ai-act/ This mapping is an operational governance crosswalk. It is not legal advice, a conformity assessment, or a declaration of compliance.

2. Mapping Information

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, adopted on 8 July 2026 and published on 24 July 2026, amended Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as part of the Digital Omnibus on AI. The mapping therefore uses the amended legal baseline rather than reproducing the unamended 2024 timetable.

3. Authoritative Source Hierarchy

The mapping shall apply the following source hierarchy. The primary source is: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council as amended by applicable subsequent Union legislation, including: Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 — Digital Omnibus on AI. The binding legal text is authoritative for legal requirements.

3.2 Official Implementation Material

Supporting sources may include:
  • European Commission guidance;
  • European AI Office guidance;
  • official FAQs;
  • codes of practice;
  • delegated acts;
  • implementing acts;
  • common specifications;
  • harmonised standards when formally applicable;
  • other official implementation material.

3.3 AIGO Mapping

AIGO translates the legal requirement into an operational governance relationship. An AIGO mapping does not change the legal requirement.

4. Mapping Methodology

Each mapped provision should answer the following questions:
  1. What legal requirement applies?
  2. Who is the affected actor?
  3. To which AI systems or activities does it apply?
  4. When does it apply?
  5. Are there exceptions or transitional provisions?
  6. What AIGO governance domain addresses it?
  7. What AIGO risk or governance objective is relevant?
  8. What AIGO control implements or supports it?
  9. What assessment is required?
  10. What approval or decision is required?
  11. What monitoring is required?
  12. What evidence should exist?
  13. What assurance may be appropriate?
  14. What happens when the requirement is not satisfied?
  15. What lifecycle stages are affected?

5. Mapping Relationship Types

The following relationship types are used: A direct AIGO mapping does not itself establish legal compliance.

6. Actor Mapping

The EU AI Act applies differently depending on actor role. AIGO should therefore capture the applicable actor before applying detailed requirements. Primary actor categories include:
An organization may occupy more than one role for different AI systems or activities. AIGO governance should preserve the actor role applicable to each governed AI system.

7. Applicability Model

The primary AIGO applicability chain is:
An organization should not assume that the presence of an AI system automatically means that every EU AI Act provision applies.

8. AIGO Applicability Record

For material EU AI Act assessments, AIGO should maintain:

9. AIGO Classification Versus EU AI Act Category

AIGO classification and EU AI Act classification must remain separate concepts. An AI system may have:
  • an AIGO risk classification;
  • an EU AI Act category;
  • a sector classification;
  • a technical risk classification;
  • a privacy classification;
  • a security classification.
These classifications may influence one another but are not interchangeable. The AIGO Classification Template and Risk Assessment should therefore record the EU AI Act classification separately where applicable.

10. Core AIGO Mapping Architecture

The principal crosswalk is:
This represents the preferred operationalization path.

11. Article 1 — Subject Matter and Purpose

  • incidents;
  • resource requirements;
  • supplier issues;
  • regulatory engagement.

66. Improvement Mapping

Regulatory gaps should feed continual improvement. Recommended chain:

67. Retirement Mapping

Retirement should consider whether EU AI Act obligations continue after operational use ends. Potential continuing obligations include:
  • record retention;
  • evidence preservation;
  • incident investigation;
  • regulatory reporting;
  • data retention;
  • contractual obligations;
  • post-market activity.
AI system retirement must therefore not automatically terminate all regulatory governance records.

68. Third-Party Mapping

Third-party AI systems should be mapped according to the organization’s role. The governance record should identify:
  • supplier;
  • provider/deployer relationship;
  • contract;
  • regulatory responsibility;
  • required documentation;
  • evidence;
  • monitoring;
  • notification;
  • change;
  • termination.
Contractual allocation of responsibilities does not automatically eliminate statutory obligations.

69. Fundamental Rights Mapping

The AIGO framework should map applicable AI Act requirements to:
  • risk;
  • impact assessment;
  • fairness;
  • privacy;
  • human oversight;
  • transparency;
  • complaint mechanisms;
  • monitoring;
  • assurance.
Where applicable, the organization should preserve evidence of its fundamental-rights analysis.

70. Regulatory Change Monitoring

The organization should monitor:
  • amendments;
  • guidance;
  • standards;
  • codes;
  • implementing acts;
  • delegated acts.
When a change is identified:

71. Mapping Status Model

Each provision should be classifiable as:
These statuses represent mapping/governance progress. They do not constitute legal-compliance certification.

72. Mapping Findings

The master mapping should identify potential findings such as:

73. Mapping Coverage

A future mapping validation process should measure:
  • total mapped provisions;
  • applicable provisions;
  • unmapped provisions;
  • partially mapped provisions;
  • control coverage;
  • evidence coverage;
  • assurance coverage;
  • timeline coverage.
Coverage metrics should be accompanied by critical gaps.

74. Critical EU AI Act Gaps

The following should normally be treated as high or critical mapping gaps:
  • prohibited-practice screening absent;
  • applicable high-risk classification absent;
  • risk-management mapping absent;
  • applicable transparency mapping absent;
  • applicable GPAI mapping absent;
  • fundamental-rights assessment mapping absent where required;
  • regulatory registration mapping absent where required;
  • serious-incident mapping absent;
  • applicable conformity mapping absent;
  • current implementation dates absent or incorrect.

75. Current Application Timeline

The mapping package shall use the current legal and Commission baseline. The European Commission currently states:
  • the AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024;
  • the general application date is 2 August 2026;
  • prohibitions and AI-literacy provisions applied from 2 February 2025 under the staged framework;
  • governance and GPAI obligations applied from 2 August 2025;
  • specified high-risk use cases under Annex III apply from 2 December 2027;
  • AI systems embedded in regulated products under the relevant Annex I pathway apply from 2 August 2028.
Timeline details must be maintained centrally in: 11-AIGO-EU-AI-Act-Applicability-and-Timeline-v0.1.md

76. Current GPAI Timeline

The current Commission guidance states:
  • GPAI obligations became applicable from 2 August 2025;
  • Commission enforcement powers apply from 2 August 2026;
  • GPAI models placed on the market before 2 August 2025 have until 2 August 2027 to comply.
AIGO GPAI mappings should use the dedicated GPAI mapping document rather than duplicating detailed timelines.

77. Current High-Risk Timeline

The Commission’s current high-risk guidance states:
  • rules for specified high-risk stand-alone systems apply from 2 December 2027;
  • high-risk AI embedded in products such as machinery, toys, and lifts applies from 2 August 2028.
The final legal interpretation should always be checked against the current EUR-Lex text.

78. Current Transparency Baseline

The general AI Act framework reaches its general application milestone on 2 August 2026, and the Commission’s current implementation material identifies Article 50 transparency obligations as part of the rules applying at that stage. AIGO should therefore treat transparency as a current operational mapping area rather than a future-only requirement.

79. Digital Omnibus Integration

The mapping shall explicitly account for Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. The Digital Omnibus changed or clarified areas including:
  • high-risk implementation timelines;
  • AI literacy;
  • GPAI governance;
  • database registration;
  • post-market monitoring;
  • AI Office powers;
  • certain prohibited practices;
  • SME/SMC simplifications;
  • regulatory sandboxes;
  • interaction with product-safety legislation.
The mapping should not rely on the original 2024 AI Act text alone.

80. Source Currency Rule

Before every material mapping release:
  1. verify the current EUR-Lex legal source;
  2. verify applicable amendments;
  3. verify Commission implementation material;
  4. identify changed dates;
  5. identify changed obligations;
  6. update affected mappings;
  7. run consistency validation;
  8. obtain legal/compliance review where appropriate.
The mapping package should record the source verification date.

81. Mapping Review Frequency

The master mapping should be reviewed:
  • at least annually;
  • after any amendment;
  • after material official guidance;
  • after significant implementation measures;
  • after material enforcement developments;
  • after relevant case law;
  • before major AIGO releases.
Event-driven review takes precedence over routine review.

82. Mapping Ownership

The mapping package should have: Mapping Owner: Responsible for maintaining the mapping package. Legal/Compliance Reviewer: Responsible for reviewing legal interpretation and applicability. Governance Reviewer: Responsible for evaluating AIGO implementation alignment. Framework Architect: Responsible for architectural consistency. Control Owner: Responsible for mapped control implementation. Evidence Owner: Responsible for evidence requirements. Assurance Reviewer: Responsible for validation of material implementation claims.

83. Validation Requirements

The master mapping should satisfy:

Source Validation

Every material requirement has an authoritative source reference.

Applicability Validation

Applicable actor and scope are identified.

Mapping Validation

AIGO relationship is explicitly classified.

Control Validation

Mapped controls exist where claimed.

Reference Validation

AIGO identifiers resolve.

Traceability Validation

The requirement-to-AIGO chain is intact.

Evidence Validation

Required evidence relationships are identified.

Timeline Validation

Application dates are current.

Version Validation

Legal and mapping versions are identified.

Review Validation

Material mappings have appropriate review status.

84. Limitations

The mapping cannot independently determine:
  • legal compliance;
  • legal interpretation in a specific factual scenario;
  • conformity assessment outcome;
  • adequacy of technical documentation;
  • effectiveness of controls;
  • sufficiency of evidence;
  • appropriateness of risk decisions;
  • correctness of a regulator’s interpretation.
Those matters require qualified legal, technical, governance, and assurance judgment.

85. Relationship to Other EU AI Act Mapping Files

The master mapping should provide the high-level crosswalk and delegate detailed subject matter to these files.

86. Example Master Mapping Record

A conceptual mapping entry is:

87. Example Governance Chain

A high-risk AI implementation may produce:
This is the intended operational traceability pattern.

88. Regulatory Change Chain

When EU AI Act requirements change:
This chain should be integrated with AIGO Change Management.

89. Mapping Release Evidence

A release of this mapping package should retain evidence including:
  • source verification;
  • registry;
  • mapping review;
  • legal/compliance review;
  • changed mappings;
  • validation results;
  • unresolved issues;
  • approval.
Such records may be stored through the AIGO Evidence model.

90. Mapping Quality Standard

The AIGO EU AI Act mapping should be considered fit for operational use only when it is:
  • legally sourced;
  • current;
  • actor-aware;
  • applicability-aware;
  • traceable;
  • internally consistent;
  • mapped to AIGO controls;
  • supported by evidence requirements;
  • reviewed;
  • versioned.
