EU AI act implementation

Talked to a team last week who had no idea their internal AI tool had quietly crossed into high-risk territory under the EU AI Act. The use case had evolved over 6 months - nobody had flagged it. This is the gap I keep seeing. The Act isn't a one-time compliance exercise - it requires ongoing awareness of how your systems are actually being used versus how they were originally classified. August 2026 is the obvious deadline everyone's focused on.
