Editorial policy

Who writes this content

Every guide published under /resources is written and reviewed by the SetAIComply editorial team — the same people who build the compliance engine behind the product. We are a compliance software company, not a law firm, and we say so plainly on every page.

We do not publish syndicated, spun or ghost-written filler, and we do not publish unreviewed machine output. Drafting tools are used the way any modern team uses them; nothing reaches the site without a human subject-matter review against the primary sources listed below.

Which sources we rely on

Regulatory claims are sourced from primary texts, in this order of precedence:

• Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act) and its amending acts, as published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
• Delegated and implementing acts, Commission guidelines, and the harmonised standards they reference.
• Official EU bodies: the European Commission, the AI Office, the European AI Board, and national market surveillance authorities.
• Where a secondary source is used for context, it is linked inline so you can check it yourself.

How we handle deadlines and amendments

The AI Act's application dates have already moved once: the Digital Omnibus rescheduled the stand-alone high-risk (Annex III) obligations to 2 December 2027 and the product-embedded (Annex I) obligations to 2 August 2028. A large amount of published guidance on the open web still quotes the superseded August 2026 and August 2027 dates.

We hold every regulatory date in a single source of truth in the codebase, and the pages, countdowns and generated documents all read from it. When a date changes, it changes everywhere at once — no page can quietly go stale on a deadline.

How often we review

Each guide carries a visible publication date and, where it differs, a last-updated date. Those dates are real: they are the article's own metadata, not a build timestamp. We review the high-traffic guides whenever the underlying obligation changes, and the rest of the library on a rolling basis.

If a page is materially wrong rather than merely out of date, we correct it and note what changed instead of silently editing it.

What this content is not

Nothing on this site is legal advice, and reading it does not create a lawyer–client relationship. The AI Act leaves real interpretive room — on role attribution, on substantial modification, on what counts as a safety component — and the answer for your organisation can depend on facts we cannot see. Use these guides to get oriented and to structure the work; use qualified counsel for the calls that carry legal risk.

We also do not publish paid placements, sponsored rankings or affiliate links. Where we compare SetAIComply to another product, we say so in the title, we describe our own limitations, and we link to the competitor so you can verify the claim.

Corrections

If you find an error — a misread article number, a superseded date, a broken obligation chain — tell us and we will fix it. Corrections to regulatory substance are treated as bugs, not as feedback.
