Knowledge

The legal position, with references.

Anyone who wants to know what the AI Act demands of their business finds mainly headlines and offers on the web. Here is the wording. Four articles on the questions that come up most often in the quick check and in conversations: the training duty, fines, high-risk, disclosure. Every statement can be looked up at a reference, and where something has not yet been settled by the courts, that is stated. Added to these is a measurement of our own: which online shops ChatGPT and Perplexity name when asked without a brand name.

What is here.

No article is added because a plan prescribes a rhythm, but when something changes that a business needs to know, or when a question is asked so often that an answer with a reference is missing.

How these texts are made

Three rules
that can be verified.

We sell an application that helps with exactly these duties. That is why stricter rules apply to the articles here than to advertising.

A reference instead of an opinion

Every quoted wording comes with its reference to the Official Journal. Anyone who wants to look it up can. What has not been settled by the courts is described as unsettled.

Not a sales text

The article answers the question you came with. That we also offer a tool for it is said in one paragraph at the end, which can be skipped without loss.

A date that moves with the text

Every article carries its legal date. If the position changes, the text is updated and the date with it. A specialist text without a date is worthless.

In plain words

These articles are not legal advice. They reflect the state of the law and say what it means in practice for a small business. Whether your individual case differs can only be said by someone who knows it. The articles were written for the German market, and where they refer to national law it is German law. Trade media and advisers may pass the texts on, also shortened. A reference to the source is enough.

Getting started

Reading is one thing.
Knowing what applies to you is another.

Seven questions, two minutes, no email address. At the end you know which duties affect your business and which do not.
