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.
A package of amendments to the EU AI Act that entered into force 27 July 2026. Its central effect for this topic: it deferred the high-risk obligation tier's application date, originally 2 August 2026, to 2 December 2027 for standalone Annex III systems (such as credit scoring and insurance underwriting) and to 2 August 2028 for AI embedded in already-regulated products under Annex I. It left the Article 5 prohibited-practices ban and the Article 50 transparency duties on their original schedule.

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: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689; Regulation (EU) 2026/1744; EU AI Act; NIST AI RMF.
One interview question about it
Classify a specific AI system under the EU AI Act and name the obligations that follow, including what applies now and what is deferred.
Asked of candidates for eu ai act obligations and timelines. 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.
- A law degree (JD, LLB or LLM), no AI work yet carries it as a claim to back up: The EU AI Act reads like the statutes you were trained on; the content is new, the method is not.
- Human resources and people operations carries it as a claim to back up: Training design and delivery are part of the function.
- Operations, claims, customer service and administration carries it as a claim to back up: Onboarding and job aids are training design.
