The implementation of European Union regulation concerning artificial intelligence has entered a new phase in Hungary.
Decree No. 44/2025 (XII. 23.) of the Ministry for National Economy (NGM) constitutes an implementing regulation related to high-risk artificial intelligence systems, setting out the rules governing the designation of bodies responsible for conducting conformity assessments.

Although the decree does not primarily apply to undertakings that develop or deploy AI systems, it has an indirect impact on all market participants that intend to place high-risk AI solutions into operation in Hungary.

As of 1 November 2025, the service of authentication of documents based on electronic identification (commonly known as AVDH) was discontinued.
This service was originally introduced by Act CCXXII of 2015 on Electronic Administration (hereinafter: the “Electronic Administration Act”), which also made electronic administration mandatory for economic operators. However, Act CIII of 2023 (hereinafter: the “Dáptv.”) initiated the gradual phasing-out of the AVDH service. Pursuant to Section 119 (2) of the Dáptv., private individuals have been prohibited from using the service since 1 January 2025, while economic operators were permitted to use it only until 31 October 2025.

Artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular generative models, have undergone explosive development in recent years. An increasing number of individuals rely on these systems for various informational, analytical, or even legal questions. There is no doubt that AI tools can be extremely useful: they provide rapid responses, are capable of processing vast amounts of data, and often offer easily comprehensible explanations.

At the same time, it is important to recognise that, due to the current functioning and limitations of AI systems, significant risks also arise — including within the legal domain. For this reason, it is advisable to use such tools consciously and with caution, and not to accept their output at face value, particularly where legal questions are concerned.
