The European Commission has launched the AI Act Service Desk and a complementary AI Act Single Information Platform. These resources aim to help businesses and stakeholders understand the EU AI Act's applicability. The Service Desk allows users to submit specific questions in any official EU language to experts working with the EU AI Office. This provides direct, expert guidance rather than relying on fragmented interpretations. The Single Information Platform (SIP) is a self-service resource, offering tools like a Compliance Checker and an AI Act Explorer. These tools help users explore the legislation's structure and determine applicable obligations for their AI systems. While the Service Desk supports all official EU languages for inquiries, the SIP is currently available in English, French, and German, with full language coverage planned for early 2026. Businesses are advised to formulate focused questions based on their specific AI systems and roles to maximize the value of the Service Desk. A practical approach involves listing AI systems, describing their purpose, identifying the company's role, and then using SIP tools before submitting targeted questions. This strategy helps reduce wasted effort by addressing specific operational needs rather than treating the AI Act as a broad compliance project. The Commission has integrated these resources into a wider implementation effort, including support for SMEs and startups. Ultimately, these services help teams clarify relevant provisions but require companies to translate answers into their product design and implementation plans.
