Regulator interaction spans the full lifecycle of a high-risk AI system, from initial EU database registration through ongoing reporting to inspection readiness. EU database registration covers the Article 71 requirements, data fields, timing, provider versus deployer responsibilities, and GPAI model registration. Keeping registration current addresses the obligation to update entries when material changes occur.

The AI Office and European-level oversight describes the central coordination body’s role. The national competent authority landscape maps the member-state-level authorities. Regulatory sandboxes provide a framework for controlled testing with regulatory support. Inspection readiness prepares the organisation for announced and unannounced inspections.

Multi-jurisdiction deployment addresses the complexities of operating across multiple member states, including lead authority identification, mutual recognition, language obligations, deployer coordination, and local counsel engagement. Conflicting guidance provides a resolution framework. Enforcement and penalties documents the graduated penalty structure. Communication protocols define internal and external communication standards. The section concludes with artefacts.

This section corresponds to the Regulator Interaction section and feeds primarily into AISDP Module 11 (Certification and Legal).
