What it makes you log
Who may demand the log
Regulator
Logging duty
Article 52(2) obliges the inspected party to give the inspector all information and explanations needed, confirm that copies of materials, documents and other data it prepares or makes available at the inspector's request conform to the original, and provide access to materials, documents, other data, devices or IT systems that may constitute evidence, mirroring Article 52(1)'s list of what the inspector may demand. That is the family's own implicit shape: a duty to produce records and information to the authority on its request that cannot be met without something already kept. It states no content requirement of its own for what an operator must record day to day; the EU AI Act's own Article 12 event-recording and Article 19 log-retention duties are the EU Regulation's own, and Article 91(3) names them only as items within the regulatory sandbox's subject-matter scope, not as a duty this Act imposes. Article 69's ten-year retention of the Committee's own case files is the regulator's internal record, not an operator duty.

What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
The Act creates the Komisja Rozwoju i Bezpieczenstwa Sztucznej Inteligencji, the Committee for the Development and Security of Artificial Intelligence, as Poland's market-surveillance authority and notifying authority for the EU AI Act and the single point of contact the Regulation requires. The Committee imposes administrative fines in the cases, amounts, and on the conditions Chapter XII of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 itself sets, rather than under a separate national fine schedule.
Fines are paid within 30 days of a final decision and go to the state budget. The Committee may reduce a fine by 10 to 50 percent for timely remedial action, or by 20 to 70 percent, or 30 to 90 percent for a small or medium enterprise, under a settlement. A decision imposing a fine may be appealed to the Regional Court in Warsaw acting as the competition and consumer protection court.
The Act does not itself apply to matters of national defense, national security including the special services, or academic research and development work that does not involve real-world testing under the Regulation's own definition. The Act's general provisions took effect 10 August 2026, 14 days after promulgation, and Articles 8 to 18 and Chapters 3 to 5, 8, and 9 do not take effect until 28 October 2026.
The Committee's Chairperson is to be appointed within 2 months of the Act's entry into force, the Committee is to hold its first meeting within 3 months, and the Committee's supporting organizational unit is to begin operating within 2 months.
