Which Authority Oversees the AI Act in Slovakia?

The precise answer is still being settled. The EU AI Act — Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — is directly applicable across the Union, but each Member State designates the national authorities that supervise and enforce it. That designation process is running across the EU during 2025 and 2026, and Slovakia is part of it. So while the rules themselves already apply in Slovakia, the identity and exact procedures of the competent authority are being finalised.

The practical point is that supervision being in flux does not delay the substance. Because the Regulation is directly applicable, duties like the Article 50 transparency rules — disclosing AI chatbots, labelling AI-generated content, and flagging deep fakes — apply now. Waiting for the supervisory picture to settle before acting is the wrong way round.

• The AI Act applies directly in Slovakia already.
• National authorities are being designated during 2025 and 2026.
• Transparency duties apply regardless of who is named as supervisor.

Treat the supervisory detail as a developing picture rather than a fixed checklist, and keep an eye on Slovak announcements as the competent authority is confirmed.
