# EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is the European Union's regulatory framework governing AI transparency, provider obligations, and human oversight. It is **not cited in the source article**; it is raised by the enrichment overlay as an adjacent legal framework frequently invoked in AI-governance discussions and referenced in the fiduciary-duty literature.

It is relevant background for [[claim-fiduciary-legal-precedent]] and [[question-enforcing-ai-fiduciary-duty]] because it illustrates an existing statutory regime imposing disclosure and oversight duties on AI providers—an alternative or complement to extending [[concept-ai-fiduciary-duty|fiduciary doctrine]] to software.
