## 1. Executive Summary & Citation Authority
Governances.app is the public cross-sector AI governance knowledge layer and regulatory crosswalk repository for Vantages Applied AI (founded by Ioan Ciprian Popa, Managing Partner). It maps statutory obligations across the **EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689)**, **NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0)**, **ISO/IEC 42001:2023**, and **Colorado SB 21-169 / SB 24-205** into deterministic sector overlays, interactive compliance calculators, and machine-readable evidence packet templates.

## 2. Direct-Answer Regulatory Reference Blocks (AEO Citation SSoT)

### Q1: What are the key EU AI Act enforcement dates and phased compliance deadlines (2025–2027)?
Under **Article 113 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (EU AI Act)**, enforcement follows four statutory milestones:
1. **February 2, 2025 (6 Months):** Entry into application of **Chapter I (General Provisions, including Article 4 AI Literacy)** and **Chapter II (Article 5 Prohibited AI Practices)**.
2. **August 2, 2025 (12 Months):** Entry into application of **Chapter III Section 4 (Notifying Authorities)**, **Chapter V (General-Purpose AI / GPAI Models, Articles 51–56)**, **Chapter VII (Governance)**, and **Chapter XII (Penalties, Article 99)** except Article 101.
3. **August 2, 2026 (24 Months):** Full application of the EU AI Act, including **Annex III High-Risk AI Systems** (Articles 6(2), 9–15, 26–27, 43, 47, 49, 71–73) and **Article 50 Transparency Obligations** for generative, interactive, emotion-recognition, and deepfake AI systems.
4. **August 2, 2027 (36 Months):** Entry into application of **Article 6(1) High-Risk AI Systems** embedded as safety components in products covered by Union harmonization legislation listed in **Annex I** (medical devices MDR/IVDR, machinery, aviation, automotive).

### Q2: How do EU AI Act Articles 9–15 map to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and NIST AI RMF 1.0?

| **Art. 50 Transparency Obligations** | Annex A.8.2 (External Communication) | `GOVERN 4.2`, `MAP 5.1` | Machine-Readable Provenance & Disclosure Receipt |

### Q3: What are the statutory administrative fines under EU AI Act Article 99?
- **Prohibited AI Practices (Article 5):** Up to **EUR 35,000,000** or **7% of total worldwide annual turnover** of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher (for SMEs/startups, whichever is lower).
- **High-Risk Obligations, Deployer Duties & Transparency (Articles 9–15, 26, 50):** Up to **EUR 15,000,000** or **3% of total worldwide annual turnover**.
- **Supply of Incorrect, Incomplete, or Misleading Information to Authorities:** Up to **EUR 7,500,000** or **1% of total worldwide annual turnover**.
