What the EU AI Act actually requires for AI agent logging

High-risk AI obligations are easier to satisfy when you log for adversarial review, not dashboard convenience. Capture identity attribution, content provenance, and governance controls as linked evidence.

Operational logging checklist

For each high-risk event, preserve these fields in one linked chain:

  • Actor identity and credential source
  • Policy version and decision context
  • Content fingerprints and transformation lineage
  • Immutable event hash and previous hash linkage
  • Trusted timestamp and export manifest references

This structure turns a disputed incident into verifiable evidence instead of partial logs from unrelated systems.
