The clause most AI logging will fail

The EU AI Act asks high-risk systems to log. The harder, unwritten question is whether your logs are evidence or just a story, and most are built to be edited.

The EU AI Act's high-risk record-keeping obligations contain a quiet requirement most logging stacks will fail: not whether you logged, but whether you can prove the record was never altered, without asking anyone to trust you. Tamper-evident, post-quantum, independently verifiable logs are the missing piece, and the clause will bite in the dispute, not the audit.
