Signal The EU AI Act obliges boards to build oversight mechanisms and evidence trails before enforcement

Summary

Regulation is adding pressure on boards to govern AI well before rules take full effect. Deloitte points to frameworks such as the European Union AI Act, which require boards to set up clear mechanisms for overseeing AI. Boards must also build evidence trails that document that oversight, and they must do so well ahead of enforcement deadlines. Deloitte observes that global AI regulation is evolving as quickly as the technology itself. It advises organisations to start by understanding the strategic effects of these rules and clarifying the operational challenges they create. The regulatory push reinforces its wider call to put AI decision governance on board agendas.
