EU AI Act Compliance: Why Observability Isn't Enough for High-Risk AI

EU AI Act Compliance: Why Observability Isn’t Enough for High-Risk AI

AI, AI Governance, Application Development, Compliance, Machine Learning /

Diagrid’s Catalyst platform addresses two structural gaps in EU AI Act compliance that observability tools leave open: the inability to produce cryptographically verifiable agent records and the absence of runtime authorization controls. Built on the CNCF-graduated Dapr runtime, Catalyst targets the high-risk AI categories where regulatory exposure is greatest. With the compliance deadline extended to December 2027, the procurement window for agentic execution infrastructure is opening now.
