What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

Administration of justice and democratic processes: (a) AI systems intended to be used by a judicial authority or on their behalf to assist a judicial authority in researching and interpreting facts and the law and in applying the law to a concrete set of facts, or to be used in a similar way in alternative dispute resolution; (b) AI systems intended to be used for influencing the outcome of an election or referendum or the voting behaviour of natural persons in the exercise of their vote in elections or referenda. This does not include AI systems to the output of which natural persons are not directly exposed, such as tools used to organise, optimise or structure political campaigns from an administrative or logistical point of view.

The core rules of Chapter III, Sections 1 to 3, apply from 2 December 2027 to systems classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(2) and Annex III. That date follows from Article 113 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.
- Locator: Amended Article 113, third paragraph, point (c)praxikon:eu:ai-act:source:reg-eu-2026-1744Open official source
Duties that were not postponed already apply here as well. The transparency obligations of Article 50 apply since 2 August 2026: a provider of a system generating or manipulating synthetic content must mark that output in a machine readable format, and whoever publishes deepfake content must disclose that the content has been artificially generated or manipulated. That stands apart from the question whether the system is high-risk through point 8.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

The area reaching beyond the courts themselves: alternative dispute resolution and campaign tools that reach voters directly fall under it too. Subpoint (a) is tied to use by or on behalf of a judicial authority; a legal research tool at a law firm does not fall under it on the text.
