The EU AI Act’s August 2 transparency deadline is closer than most North American enterprises realize. Cinchy CEO J. Paul Haynes argues the real challenge isn’t disclosure — it’s continuous operational oversight of AI in production. ECI Research data shows why engineering capacity and security risk make this a board-level conversation.
