As an EU member, Czechia applies the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689). Its bans on prohibited practices and the rules for general-purpose AI models already apply, and the Article 50 transparency duties — telling people they are dealing with AI and marking AI-generated content — took effect on 2 August 2026. The Digital Omnibus on AI deferred most high-risk obligations, to 2 December 2027 for standalone systems and 2 August 2028 for AI built into regulated products. The Czech Telecommunication Office (ČTÚ) says it has been designated as one of the market surveillance authorities under the Act, and it opened a dedicated AI supervision unit on 1 September 2026.
