Austria and the AI Act

What Austria has done nationally under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744: the accompanying law, which bodies it has designated as market surveillance authority, single point of contact and notifying authority, its Article 99 penalty regime, whether an Article 57 regulatory sandbox exists (the deadline is 2 August 2027), and any national guidance that reaches courts, law firms or legal-AI deployers. Each row is dated and sourced to the gazette, parliament or authority; titles in the original language are quoted, English titles marked where translated by us.
