The Article 11 Breakdown

Article 11 is the central compliance artifact of the EU AI Act. It demands that providers of high-risk AI systems draw up technical documentation before placing the system on the market. Here are the 9 critical sections you must document to survive a conformity assessment.

01

General System Description

The intended purpose, the person responsible, and the version of the AI system. Think of this as the master manifest for your model.

02

Architecture & Design Choices

Detailed documentation of the logic, algorithms, and key design decisions. You must explain why you chose your architecture.

03

Training Data Provenance

Comprehensive logs of what data was used, where it came from, how it was cleaned, and how you mitigated inherent biases (Article 10).

04

Third-Party Dependencies

If you use a base model from OpenAI or Anthropic, you must document the supply chain and outline their shared responsibilities.

05

Human Oversight Measures

How can a human intervene, override, or shut down the AI system? Document the UI and UX flows for the human-in-the-loop.

06

Accuracy & Robustness

The exact evaluation metrics, benchmark results, and testing frameworks used to prove the system performs safely.

07

Cybersecurity Controls

Defenses against data poisoning, model evasion, and other adversarial attacks. Must map to ISO 27001 or similar standards.

08

Post-Market Monitoring

Your exact plan to collect telemetry data and log incidents after the system is deployed to production.

09

Instructions for Use

The user manual provided to the deployer, clearly stating the system's capabilities, limitations, and known risks.

Don't write this manually.
