Article 57 — EU Regulatory Sandboxes

Article 57 sandboxes across the EU

Article 57 requires every Member State to operate at least one AI regulatory sandbox, coordinated through the EU AI Office. Audact intends to apply to the relevant AI Act regulatory sandboxes when intake opens.

Why sandbox participation matters

Article 57 sandboxes give qualifying participants direct supervisory dialogue, faster clarification of grey-area compliance questions, and exit reports that can be used in downstream conformity assessment. For Audact this also creates a structured channel to validate our evidence-chain architecture with the authorities likely to inspect customer deployments.

For agencies and end-clients deploying Audact in 2027, a sandbox-aligned reference architecture is a practical route to a defensible position at audit. To be clear: sandbox participation is a supervisory dialogue under regulator guidance — it is not a certification, approval or endorsement of Audact or any deployment.

Audact's role

• Architectural transparency— documentation of the inline proxy, evidence chain, policy engine and signing infrastructure shared under appropriate NDA.
• Pilot data + redacted exports— the evidence chain is designed to produce sandbox-relevant, redacted slices of deployment evidence (with consent) for supervisory inspection.
• Joint working sessions— open hours for competent authorities to verify claims and test specific scenarios end-to-end.
