The EU AI Act is not coming. It is here.
| Deadline | Status | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| February 2025 | ✅ Enforced | 8 AI practices are illegal (Art. 5). All deployers must evidence staff AI literacy proportionate to role and risk (Art. 4). Fines up to €35M. |
| August 2025 | ✅ Enforced | GPAI model providers must publish technical documentation and training-data summaries (Art. 53). |
| August 2026 | All high-risk AI systems need risk management, accuracy evidence, transparency docs (Arts. 9–15). Fines up to €15M or 3% of global turnover. | |
| August 2027 | 🕓 Upcoming | High-risk obligations extend to AI embedded in regulated products (Annex I): medical devices, machinery, vehicles, aviation, rail, maritime. |
Most engineering teams cannot produce the required documentation. AiExponent builds the tools that change that — in 30 minutes, not 30 weeks.
Three production-ready tools. Each maps to an active enforcement obligation. Each produces a concrete artefact your legal team can file.
license-compliance-checker · Article 53
"Which licenses govern every component in my AI stack — including the models?"
pip install license-compliance-checker
lcc scan . --policy eu-ai-act-compliance --format jsonThe only open-source scanner that combines dependency license detection, AI model license analysis (HuggingFace Hub API, GGUF, ONNX), and EU AI Act Article 53 compliance — in a single command.
Output: Article 53 compliance pack — eu_ai_act_report.json + CycloneDX SBOM + training data risk summary.
rag-benchmarking · Article 15
"Can I prove my RAG system is accurate enough to deploy? Can I show regulators the evidence?"
pip install rag-benchmarking
# Plug in your LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom pipelineFramework-agnostic evaluation harness for RAG and agentic AI systems. 12 metrics across classic RAG, retrieval quality, and agentic-era evaluation. Measured faithfulness of 0.958 on the 50-sample golden dataset.
Output: BenchmarkReport JSON — audit-ready accuracy evidence for Article 15 compliance.
riskforge · Article 9
"Where is my Article 9 risk management file? How do I produce one before August 2026?"
pip install riskforge
riskforge init --name "My AI System" --sys-version "1.0" \
--purpose "..." --provider "MyOrg" --category essential_services
riskforge assess <system-id> --assessor-name "..." --assessor-role "..."
riskforge export <system-id> --format pdfGuided 8-dimension risk assessment CLI with 50+ questions, Annex III pattern matching, SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail. Article 9 documentation in ~30 minutes.
Output: Signed PDF + rmf.json — Article 9 / Annex IV Risk Management File for regulator submission.
Each tool produces structured evidence consumed by the next. Together they cover the complete technical documentation chain required for high-risk AI system compliance.

The easiest contribution requires zero Python — add a risk question, a license pattern, or a benchmark metric by editing a YAML file. See CONTRIBUTING.md in each repository.
