What it does, and what it leaves to you
- Order of decision: outside the EU or excluded, then prohibited (Article 5), then high-risk (Article 6, Annex III or Annex I), then transparency (Article 50), then minimal risk. General-purpose model duties (Articles 51 to 55) are a separate track for model providers.
- Always high-risk: an Annex III system that profiles natural people cannot use the Article 6(3) exception.
- Not decided: whether your system really matches an Annex III heading as written, which sector rules apply alongside, national authorities' guidance, partner and supplier allocation of duties by contract, and whether the high-risk dates have been postponed. The dates shown are those in Article 113 as adopted; a postponement has been proposed, so confirm the current dates.
Common questions
Does the EU AI Act apply to my company?
It applies to providers that place AI systems or general-purpose AI models on the EU market, to deployers established or located in the EU, and to providers and deployers elsewhere whose system's output is used in the EU (Article 2). Military, pure research and purely personal use are excluded. The page asks about each.
What are the risk levels in the AI Act?
Prohibited practices (Article 5), high-risk systems (Article 6 and Annex III, or products under Annex I), systems with transparency duties (Article 50), and everything else, which has no mandatory duties beyond AI literacy. General-purpose AI models have their own duties in Articles 51 to 55.
Is an AI hiring or CV screening tool high-risk?
Yes under Annex III point 4(a): AI used for recruitment, such as targeting job ads, filtering or ranking applications and evaluating candidates, is on the high-risk list. The exception in Article 6(3) does not apply if the system profiles people.
What does the AI Act require of a chatbot?
Under Article 50(1), providers must design systems that interact with people so that they are told they are dealing with AI, unless that is obvious. Providers of systems that generate synthetic audio, image, video or text must mark the output as machine-readable (Article 50(2)).
What are the fines?
Up to EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for prohibited practices, EUR 15 million or 3% for most other breaches, and EUR 7.5 million or 1% for supplying incorrect information. Whichever is higher applies, except for SMEs and start-ups, where it is whichever is lower (Article 99).
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is sent; a test in the code asserts there are no network calls.
