AI compliance, without the jargon.

Most of the coverage focuses on what the EU AI Act prohibits. But if you're a fintech building credit scoring, fraud detection, or underwriting systems, the real question is simpler: what records do you need to keep, and in what format?

It's not hypothetical anymore. Courts are asking for AI decision records. Insurance companies are being asked to produce the reasoning behind claim denials. This is what the discovery process looks like when your decision-maker is an LLM.
