What this page covers

public administration teams need proof that decisions, controls, changes and incidents happened under the right policy and system version. This page maps the evidence Attesto can seal before an audit or customer review.

Legal timing

The AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024. The Commission describes 2 August 2026 as the general application date, while the AI Omnibus political agreement moves many high-risk areas to 2 December 2027 and product-integrated systems to 2 August 2028. The preparation work still has to start now because evidence cannot be rebuilt reliably after deployment.

This page is implementation guidance for evidence planning, not legal advice.

FAQ

How is this different from a normal log?

A normal log asks an auditor to trust the system that produced it. Attesto records hashes, signatures, Merkle proofs and verifier receipts so selected evidence can be checked independently.

Does Attesto need to expose raw sensitive data?

No. Raw records can remain encrypted or customer-controlled while proof material is shared for verification.

Where does AI Act evidence for public administration fit in the compliance stack?
