ACF® × EU AI Act
Conservative mapping of the 17 ACF® cards of the Decide family to the principal EU AI Act article they operationalise. For the multi-standard view and interactive filter, see /mappings.
!Warning
High-risk enforcement starts December 2, 2027 for Annex III systems. An organisation operating an agent in essential services (credit, insurance, energy, health, justice) must, by that date, be able to produce the complete cryptographic trace of every agentic decision. ACF® is designed so that no audit line is missing on that date.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689: Artificial Intelligence Act ↗
EU AI Act: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The first comprehensive horizontal AI regulation in the world. High-risk obligations enforcement begins December 2, 2027 for Annex III systems. Penalties up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.

Each row below is an ACF® methodological card and the principal article of the standard it maps to. The mapping is deliberately conservative, when a card covers several articles, only the principal article is cited here. The full multi-standard view is on the matrix.
