Post‑market monitoring
Ongoing oversight of AI system performance and incidents.
How the laws define this
All three texts agree that post-market monitoring requires ongoing tracking of deployed AI systems to identify risks, report incidents, implement corrective actions, and cooperate with supervisory authorities to maintain safety and compliance. The primary divergence lies in who carries out these obligations and which procedural steps are specified. Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), duties are placed on providers and deployers to maintain runtime logs and update risk management. Conversely, the Draft Act on the Organization of Public Administration in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (government bill submitted to interdepartmental comment procedure) applies to providers and operators, explicitly incorporating defined key performance indicators. Meanwhile, the Act on the Implementation of the (EU) Regulation on Harmonised Rules on Artificial Intelligence establishes obligatory arrangements for both providers and market surveillance authorities, specifically referencing authority powers to request technical documentation and cooperate across national and EU authorities.

What is distinctive in each definition, binding law in force first. Showing 2 of the 3 instruments that define this term; all are listed under Definitions below.
| Jurisdiction | Instrument | Status | What is distinctive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slovenia | Act on the Implementation of the (EU) Regulation on Harmonised Rules on Artificial Intelligence | In Force | This definition adds obligatory arrangements for market surveillance authorities to request technical documentation and cooperate with national and EU authorities to detect and remedy issues. |
| Slovakia | Draft Act on the Organization of Public Administration in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (government bill submitted to interdepartmental comment procedure) | Under Review | This definition adds mandatory continuous monitoring with defined KPIs, incident reporting channels and corrective measures specifically by providers and operators. |
What it triggers
- Under the Act on the Implementation of the (EU) Regulation on Harmonised Rules on Artificial Intelligence in Slovenia, providers and market surveillance authorities must monitor AI systems in operation, maintain records and report significant incidents.source
- In the Draft Act on the Organization of Public Administration in the Field of Artificial Intelligence in Slovakia, providers and operators would be required to track performance, risks, incidents and compliance including KPIs and corrective measures.source
- Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), providers and deployers must continuously monitor AI systems after deployment, maintain runtime logs and report incidents.
Definitions (3)
Mandatory continuous monitoring activities by providers/operators to track the real‑world performance, risks, incidents and compliance of deployed AI systems, including defined KPIs, incident reporting channels, corrective measures and obligations to cooperate with supervisory authorities.
Obligatory arrangements required by the Act for providers and market surveillance authorities to monitor AI systems in operation, maintain records, report significant incidents, request technical documentation and cooperate with national and EU authorities to detect and remedy safety or compliance issues.
Obligations on providers and deployers to continuously monitor AI systems after deployment, maintain runtime logs and records, detect and report incidents, update risk management and take corrective actions to address emerging risks and support national market surveillance authorities.
Not to be confused with
Post-Market Monitoring System refers specifically to provider activities collecting experience from deployed AI systems, while post-market monitoring encompasses broader obligations including monitoring by authorities and deployers.
AI Monitoring (Production) focuses on ongoing surveillance to detect drift, failures, and compliance issues, whereas post-market monitoring includes incident reporting and cooperation with authorities.
Questions and answers
What do providers have to do under post-market monitoring in Slovenia?
Providers must monitor AI systems in operation, maintain records and report significant incidents. They also need to cooperate with national and EU authorities to remedy safety or compliance issues.

Yes, it mandates continuous monitoring activities by providers and operators to track real-world performance, risks, incidents and compliance with defined KPIs and corrective measures.
What are the core obligations for deployers in the EU AI Act?
