The requirements for governance, model transparency/notification, began in August 2025. General applicability of most of the AI Act including obligations for “high-risk” AI systems begin in August 2026. Obligations for high-risk AI systems that are part of safety components in regulated products become applicable in August 2027.

By introducing a tiered, risk-based regime, the law bans certain AI practices outright, layers strict obligations on high-risk systems, and establishes unprecedented oversight for general-purpose AI and foundation models, especially those with systemic impact. Its reach is global—any company placing AI into the EU market must comply and its penalties are steep.

For businesses and their counsel, compliance isn’t optional. It’s now the price of entry into one of the world’s largest markets, and it will influence how innovation is documented, safeguarded, and patented.

It’s important to understand the AI Act’s most consequential provisions for patent strategy, particularly how regulatory documentation duties intersect with data provenance, inventorship disputes, trade secret versus patent trade-offs, claim drafting under new compliance constraints, and geo-strategic filing decisions.

The AI Act distinguishes between four key categories of AI systems:

Minimal-risk systems (AI-enabled video games, spam filters)

Limited-risk systems (chatbots interacting with users)

High-risk systems (AI in health care, education, employment, infrastructure, biometric identification)

General purpose and foundation models

While minimal and limited risk systems carry only modest obligations, the regulation of high-risk and general-purpose/foundation models forms the core of the AI Act and presents the most significant patent implications.

Before entering the market, high-risk systems must clear a conformity assessment and provide detailed technical documentation that includes:

System description and intended purpose

System architecture, algorithms, and datasets used

Risk management, testing, and validation protocols
Transparency and human oversight measures

Properly managed, these records can help distinguish human inventive contributions from AI-assisted outputs, providing valuable support for defending inventorship and reinforcing patent validity in a contested landscape.

Documentation and dataset summaries may further reduce the viability of trade secret protection. Both the EU Trade Secrets Directive and US law require that information be kept confidential through reasonable protective measures.

By mandating disclosures, the AI Act can erode this confidentiality, making secrecy harder to sustain in practice. This shift alters the calculus for IP strategy. In some cases, patenting may become the safer path, as certain technologies no longer can be reliably safeguarded as trade secrets.

EU AI Act Demands Informed, Disclosure-Aware Patent Strategies

US companies whose patent portfolios are exposed to the EU market face unique risks under the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act.

Il linguaggio di un musicista sono i suoi ascolti, anche quando un gruppo, o un solista, intende superarli o lasciarseli alle spalle. È proprio questa semplice verità, ancora oggi invisa a qualche purista dell'illuminazione improvvisa, il segreto della grandezza dei Phish, creatura nata presso l'Università del Vermont, nel 1983, allorché il chitarrista Trey Anastasio e i suoi tre complici trovarono divertente l'idea di mettere sul pentagramma una conoscenza enciclopedica della storia del rock e dei suoi derivati, ogni volta riletti in un'apoteosi di virtuosismi, improvvisazioni, divagazioni, rimaneggiamenti e, non ultime, straordinarie facilità e freschezza di scrittura... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/12…

Poland signed two separate deals with Palantir Technologies Inc. and Anduril Industries Inc. on Monday as the country steps up to upgrade its army amid record military spending.

Poland’s Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz and Palantir Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp signed a letter of intent on data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in Warsaw. At the same time, state-owned PGZ SA agreed with Anduril to cooperate on making Barracuda-500M cruise missiles, without saying when production would start or how much the deal was worth.

The Palantir deal is an early stage agreement and neither the government nor the company said how much the deal was worth. Poland is interested in several systems the company offers, including for battlefield management and logistics, Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

The minister said the Palantir CEO told him the company planned to invest in Poland, tapping into the potential of the local defense industry and engaging Polish engineers, without giving details. The country expects to sign deals with Palantir for specific systems in the next two or three months.

Amazon is preparing to lay off tens of thousands of corporate workers, reversing its pandemic hiring spree. The cuts come months after the retail giant’s CEO warned white-collar employees their jobs could be taken by artificial intelligence.

I'm sure the tRump slump has nothing to do with it

Ten degrees C on top of the hill overlooking the city. Camera set for a thirty-second exposure. Fingies very frozen. I'll get it right this time.

The big things I wanted was all of Burnside in the pic, the three big skyscrapers in a row, the garish orange Hilton sign excluded, and lovely trees down in front for offset.

Thanks for seeing my work!

#DEF CON 33 - Post Quantum Panic: When Will the Cracking Begin, & Can We Detect it? - K Karagiannis

Due to recently published algorithmic improvements (1399 qubits @ 2048 bit key length for Shor's) and leaps being made in quantum computing hardware (IBM Starling @ 200 logical qubits in 2029, and IBM Blue Jay @ 2000 logical quibits from 2033 and on), encryption is in danger of State-sponsored and high end-criminal attacks as soon as 2030. Particularly susceptible are crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, which rely on the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) and are attackable by Shor's factoring capability on a predictably feasible quantum computer.___###

Alien Anthropology: Doing without Agriculture

Those familiar with Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres worldbuilding series will be glad to hear that it's new sequel (sister?) series has just had it's first release 'Doing without Agriculture,' exploring a few of the ways that a fictional alien species, the development of which was covered in the last series, could develop their societies in the abscence of agrarian technology.

China is the sole producer, for example, of samarium, a rare earth metal used in many military applications. China is also the only country to master the difficult art of refining ultrapure dysprosium: The entire world’s supply, needed for superfast chips, comes from a single factory near Shanghai.

Two Illinois National Guard members told CBS News they would refuse to obey federal orders to deploy in Chicago as part of President Trump's controversial immigration enforcement mission — a rare act of open defiance from within the military ranks.

"It's disheartening to be forced to go against your community members and your neighbors," said Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek, a Latina guardswoman and state legislative candidate from Illinois's 13th District. "It feels illegal. This is not what we signed up to do."
