The EU AI Act exists because a lawyer cited six cases that never existed. Because a chatbot told a grieving customer to end their life. Because AI systems around the world are making promises, giving advice, and stating facts — and nobody knows which ones are true until something breaks.

Regulation is society’s immune response to repeated injury.

What the Act actually asks

Article 15 doesn’t ask whether your AI is intelligent. It asks whether you can prove it’s accurate. Article 9 doesn’t care about your architecture. It wants to know if you’ve identified what can go wrong and what you’re doing about it.

This is not optional. Penalties reach 35 million euros or 7% of global revenue.

The geometric advantage

Deterministic detection methods like SGI and DGI produce auditable, reproducible scores. No stochastic variation between runs. No second LLM introducing its own failure modes into the evaluation chain.

This matters for compliance because Article 15 requires provable accuracy. A score that changes every time you run it is not evidence. Geometric methods produce the same output for the same input, every time.
