Legal Prompting - AI Act: obligations for legal professionals

Ninth episode of Legal Prompting. After discussing professional secrecy as a criterion for choosing an AI infrastructure, we shift our focus to the regulatory framework: the European AI Act and the obligations placed on legal professionals as deployers of AI systems. The central principle: those who use AI in legal practice are not mere users but regulated subjects under the AI Act, with precise obligations. To these is added the cross-cutting duty of AI literacy (Article 4), already applicable since February 2025. Three concrete applications: Classify the risk of the system used (prohibited, high, limited, minimal) Notice to the client and transparency under Article 50 of the AI Act Documenting use: logs, standard prompts, human controls Three cross-cutting operational rules: effective human oversight, preliminary assessment of tools, continuous updating on the Regulation’s deadlines. In the next episode we will close the journey with a synthesis of the method and a look at the perspectives of evolution. To dive deeper, subscribe to the newsletter at nicfab.eu.
