AI systems in critical areas: employment, healthcare, education, law enforcement, credit scoring. Requires conformity assessments, documentation, human oversight.

Limited Risk

AI systems with transparency obligations: chatbots must disclose they are AI, deepfakes must be labeled, emotion recognition requires notification.

AI systems with no specific obligations: spam filters, AI in video games, inventory management. Voluntary codes of conduct encouraged.

Does my business need EU AI Act compliance?

How does EU AI Act compliance relate to GDPR?
