Map of the AI Act
The whole regulation in one view
Every obligation of the AI Act sits on this ring, grouped by theme. The larger a node, the more hangs off it in actions, evidence and controls. Filter by your role or click an obligation, and it becomes the centre of the map.
On a small screen the themes are listed below one another rather than on a ring.

The size of a node follows the number of actions, forms of evidence and controls hanging off it. The ring shows the obligations; everything below them appears once you click one. An open ring means the obligation is in the regulation but only becomes applicable later. The date is stated with the obligation itself.
Read at 27 Jul 2026. What did not yet apply on that date is not shown here. The Digital Omnibus enters into force: the requirements for high-risk systems move back and article 4 takes its current wording.
