Automatic logs

Keep automatic logs under your control for the appropriate period.

Article 26 sets at least six months unless other applicable law provides otherwise.

In the workplace

A weekly aggregate may not preserve the automatic logs needed to reconstruct events. Check exportability and legal retention together.

Remember this

Control access and respect data-protection requirements.

The workplace case
YOUR CASE / DUTIES WHEN USING HIGH-RISK AI

A company plans to use a high-risk applicant-ranking system. Its supplier provides instructions, but the local team has no trained reviewer, exports only weekly summary scores and has not informed affected workers about a separate internal promotion use. A pilot shows unexplained exclusion of qualified applicants.

Quick reference / five key ideas
Automatic logs
Control access and respect data-protection requirements.
Workers and affected people
Coordinate AI Act notices with GDPR and national labour law.
Impact assessments and registration
Not every private deployer has every one of these duties.
Serious incidents
If the provider cannot be reached, Article 73 can apply to the deployer by analogy.
Release and periodic review
Keep gaps visible with responsible owners.
