What EU AI Act (EU) 2024/1689 - Article 20: Automatically Generated Logs and Audit Trail Requirements for High-Risk AI requires

Article 20 requires providers of high-risk AI systems to design and build in automatic log-keeping capabilities that record the system's operation throughout the entire period of use. These logs must enable post-market monitoring and facilitate investigation of incidents and non-conformities. Deployers of high-risk AI systems must retain automatically generated logs for the period specified by the provider in instructions for use or - absent such specification - for at least 6 months. For high-risk AI systems subject to public authority use (credit institutions, law enforcement, public administration), deployers must retain logs for a minimum of 3 years or as required by sector-specific legislation. Logs must be made available to competent authorities on request.
