moltrust launches EU AI Act compliance API endpoints
moltrust published version 2.5 of its API (api.moltrust.ch), adding eight endpoints—three of which directly implement obligations from the EU AI Act. Key endpoints include /compliance/assess (returns risk tier, obligations and article references), /compliance/declaration (issues an EU declaration of conformity as a W3C Verifiable Credential, Ed25519-signed), /compliance/incident (records Art.73 serious incidents and computes regulatory deadlines), and GET /compliance/report/{did} (HTML audit summary). The implementation uses deterministic code that pins EU articles (EUR-Lex) rather than probabilistic model inference, citing the Aithos LARA study as justification. The post also lists important EU AI Act dates for Articles 5 and 6 and provides an OpenAPI spec URL.
Provides a narrowly scoped, machine-readable implementation to help providers/deployers assess and document compliance with EU AI Act obligations; useful to developers and compliance teams but not industry-shifting.

EU AI Act 2026 Cheat Sheet for Developers
This developer-focused cheat sheet summarizes the EU AI Act obligations and timelines relevant to teams shipping LLM features, recommenders, recruitment filters, or other AI scoring systems to EU users. Enforcement began in August 2025, with major obligations from 2 August 2026 and full enforcement for high-risk systems from 2 August 2027. The Act establishes a four-tier risk pyramid (Unacceptable, High-risk, Limited, Minimal), prescribes transparency rules under Article 50 (machine-readable AI labels and in-UI disclosure), and defines steep fines for breaches. The post gives a practical 30-minute audit checklist (risk classification, data governance, human oversight, post-market monitoring, documentation, incident reporting within 15 days) and a starter AI transparency template. The author notes recurring compliance gaps found in SaaS audits and describes CompliPilot, a tool they built to automate checks and generate reports.
EU AI Act Article 50: API Developer Obligations
This technical explainer describes Article 50 of the EU AI Act and what API teams must do to comply. Article 50, effective 2026-08-02, sets transparency obligations for systems that interact with people and requires machine-readable marking for AI-generated or -altered audio, images, video, and text. The article distinguishes responsibilities between 'providers' (those who place AI systems on the EU market) and 'users' (those who deploy third-party models), details exceptions (helper/editing functions, minor changes, editorial human review), and recommends engineering controls: inventory of AI flows, model configuration flags for marking, including ai_disclosure metadata in API responses/OpenAPI contracts, and CI tests to assert disclosure presence and approved model IDs. It notes potential fines (up to €15M or 3% of global turnover under Article 99), a voluntary transparency ethics charter (signed by ~190 organisations including Anthropic), and possible extension dates for legacy models.
