{ "question": "What documentation is required for our AI system under EU AI Act Annex IV?", "answer": "Based on the available documentation, the EU AI Act Annex IV requires comprehensive technical and governance documentation for high-risk AI systems. Key requirements include:\n\n1. From WEB-INFRA-SECURITY-PATTERNS.md (ai-act):\nTechnical documentation must cover system architecture, training data sources, performance metrics, and risk mitigation strategies. This aligns with our Zero-Trust security model where all infrastructure components are verified before trust is granted.\n\n2. From zero_trust_architecture.md (ai-act):\nOur Zero-Trust Architecture implements the required access control and monitoring mechanisms. All system decisions must be logged and auditable, following the principle that no system component is inherently trusted.\n\n3. Governance Requirements:\n- Data governance and lineage documentation\n- Model performance and validation results\n- Regular compliance assessments\n- Incident and anomaly reporting procedures\n- Human oversight mechanisms for high-risk decisions\n\nCurrent Status:\n✓ Technical documentation exists for infrastructure layer\n✓ Zero-Trust access controls provide audit trail\n✗ Missing: Formal AI Act Annex IV compliance mapping document\n✗ Missing: Model card documentation for AI systems\n✗ Missing: Documented governance review procedures\n\nRecommendations:\n1. Create AI_ACT_ANNEX_IV_MAPPING.md linking requirements to existing docs\n2. Implement model card template for all AI/ML systems\n3. Establish quarterly governance review meetings\n4.
