Czech telecoms regulator opens an AI supervision unit
Český telekomunikační úřad — Czech AI regulation now has a dedicated enforcer: Český telekomunikační úřad, the country's telecoms watchdog, has opened a standalone unit to police artificial intelligence systems. Anna Hroudová heads the team, having moved over from the Confederation of Industry and Transport of the Czech Republic, joined by three colleagues covering law, technology and analytics. Once enabling legislation clears parliament, the unit inherits authority to enforce the European AI Act, the bloc's framework for EU AI Act implementation, giving the regulator real supervisory bite over AI in practice.

Czech regulator sets out who must declare AI from 2 August 2026
Czech Telecommunication Office — From 2 August 2026 the Czech Telecommunication Office, among the market surveillance bodies the Czech Republic has designated, spelled out how the AI transparency rules of the AI Act bite. Anyone supplying a chatbot must tell people they are dealing with a machine, and supplier output carries a machine-readable mark; operators label only deepfakes and AI-made material touching the public interest. Biometric and emotion-recognition kit obliges its operator to notify every person subjected to it, and enforcement of Article 50 can fall to the European AI Office instead.

Czech government drafts its first AI Act to implement EU rules
Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic — A single point of contact for Czech AI regulation would sit with the Czech Telecommunications Office, tasked with leading market checks under a first-of-its-kind national statute now written by the Ministry of Industry and Trade to fold the EU AI Act into the law of the Czech Republic. Two other bodies, the Czech National Bank and the Office for Personal Data Protection, would supervise their own fields, and a sandbox for trialling artificial intelligence tools would open under the Czech Agency for Standardisation. Other ministries gave feedback in autumn 2025, and the bill went to cabinet on 26 June 2026; come September 2026 no minister had reviewed it yet, leaving this proposed AI Act Czechia measure stalled before reaching parliament.

Method and sources
Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.
The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4731 entries across 249 countries.
