Implement your agents responsibly with Auga Pro.
Human readiness is our priority.
In many places, lawmakers are asking similar things of automated systems: tell people when AI is involved, explain its decisions, let them contest, and keep a human in the loop.

Status as of September 2026. Short summaries for orientation, not legal advice.
Each card is tagged with the human-readiness criteria the law touches: reach a human, explanation, contest, disclosure, oversight, correction, opt out of automation, inclusion, real oversight and vulnerable customers. We assign the tags as an aid to orientation. They are not a legal assessment.
