How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
The European Union's 2026 amendment to the EU AI Act's implementation timeline, reaching political agreement May 7, 2026, adopted by the Council June 29, 2026, and in force as Regulation 2026/1744 on July 27, 2026, postponing the Annex III high-risk obligations to December 2, 2027 and the Annex I obligations to August 2, 2028, while leaving the Article 50 transparency duty and the Commission's GPAI enforcement powers on their original August 2, 2026 date (with a narrow grace period to December 2, 2026 for the Article 50(2) watermarking duty on systems already on the market).
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force since 27 July 2026, which amended Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act) across multiple articles. Two separate changes matter for this program: it replaced Article 4 (the literacy obligation this topic covers) in full, and, in an unrelated provision, it deleted Article 10(5) and re-enacted it in extended form as a new stand-alone Article 4a covering special-category data for bias detection. The two are distinct amendments inside the same regulation, not the same change.
COM(2025) 836 final, the legislative proposal amending Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, provisionally agreed by co-legislators (Council and European Parliament) in May to June 2026. Agreed but NOT yet in force as of 26 June 2026. Key agreed changes include delaying standalone Annex III high-risk obligations from 2 August 2026 to 2 December 2027 and Annex I embedded-product obligations from 2 August 2027 to 2 August 2028.
The EU package (political agreement May 7, 2026; formally adopted by Parliament June 16 and Council June 29, 2026) that postponed the AI Act's high-risk obligations (Annex III to December 2, 2027; Annex I to August 2, 2028) while leaving the prohibited-practices ban, AI-literacy duty, Article 50 transparency, and GPAI enforcement in place.
The 2026 simplification package (adopted by the Council of the EU on 29 June 2026) that amended the EU AI Act's timeline, deferring stand-alone Annex III high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 and product-embedded high-risk to 2 August 2028, and adding new Article 5 prohibitions.

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where Digital Omnibus on AI starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.
Collects, labels and preserves the evidence that a control operated, a decision was made, and a claim can be defended to an auditor or regulator.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: EU AI Act Articles 11 and 12; ISO/IEC 42001 Clause 7.5; EU AI Act Article 50; C2PA Content Credentials.
One interview question about it
What evidence would you have ready before an auditor asks about an AI system, and how do you produce it as a byproduct of the work?
Asked of candidates for evidence collection and audit-ready documentation. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Compliance and regulatory affairs carries it as work you can show: Audit-ready documentation is what you produce.
- Internal audit and IT audit carries it as work you can show: Evidence evaluation is the profession.
- Project and program management carries it as a claim to back up: Decision logs and repositories are familiar.
