Episode 6 of Agent Mode AI. Abby and Avery walk the four claims that interlock around the 2 August 2026 EU AI Act deployer-obligations enforcement window. AM-127 is the falsifiable prediction (three of four operational claims will downgrade by 1 October 2026). AM-135 is the Article 50 transparency UX with chatbot disclosure, generative AI watermarking, biometric notification, and deepfake disclosure. AM-138 is the post-enforcement MSA red-team — three new clause families covering Article 11 technical-file pass-through, Article 16 post-market monitoring support, and Article 26 deployer-documentation supply. AM-046 is the fourteen-field Article 12 audit substrate that the other three obligations feed into.
