Draft Act on Artificial Intelligence and amending Act No. 87/2023 Coll., on Market Surveillance of Products and on Amendments to Certain Related Acts, as amended

Summary

Draft national law adapting Czech law to the EU AI Act, prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and sent for inter-ministerial comments in September 2025. It adds no regulation beyond the AI Act and organises its supervision: the Czech Telecommunication Office as the central market surveillance authority, the Czech National Bank for AI in the financial sector, and the Office for Personal Data Protection for risky systems and the protection of privacy and fundamental rights. The standards office ÚNMZ founds a regulatory sandbox run by the Czech Standardisation Agency and handles offences; small and medium-sized firms first receive calls to remedy shortcomings rather than fines.

Status notes

By Resolution No. 394 of 28 May 2025 the Government decided that the Czech Telecommunication Office would be one of the market surveillance authorities under the AI Act (see the implementation plan, CZ-02). The draft had 10 pages and 25 sections when it went out for comments. The inter-ministerial comment procedure had not been completed by the end of 2025; the Czech Telecommunication Office, which took part in drafting the law, reported that it cannot carry out AI supervision without it. Its AI supervision unit started work on 1 September 2026 and is to exercise its powers once the legislation is approved. The Commission's list of single points of contact (last updated 7 September 2026) names the Czech Telecommunication Office, with the national designation still pending final adoption.
