The Audit Field Was Always Empty
On 2 August 2026 the EU AI Act stops being a paper and starts assigning penalties — to the same audit-trail gaps your engineering already has.
Abstract
The EU AI Act does not invent new requirements for AI governance; it assigns legal penalties to engineering gaps the KellerAI corpus has named since 2025 — the permanently-empty log field, the model swap with no change record, the 'observable' system whose telemetry means nothing. From 2 August 2026 the Act's transparency duties and enforcement machinery go live.
