EU AI Act Compliance & Risk Level Checker

Check an AI system against key EU AI Act risk categories and identify potential compliance requirements with a free browser-based assessment.

Important: This tool provides an indicative, educational assessment based on the information you provide. It does not constitute legal advice, certification or a determination of compliance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The EU AI Act contains detailed provisions, exceptions and implementation timelines, and its interpretation may depend on the specific system, intended purpose, deployment context and applicable law. Always verify the result against the current legislation and official guidance and seek qualified legal advice where appropriate.

System Assessment Questionnaire

Answer the following questions regarding your AI system’s implementation.

1. System Purpose & Characteristics

Does your AI system perform any of the following banned practices?

Biometric categorization based on sensitive traits, untargeted facial recognition scraping, social scoring, or subliminal manipulation causing harm.

Yes, it involves one of these No, none of these

2. Application Domain & Use Case

Is the AI used in critical infrastructure, safety components, or high-stakes decisions?

Examples: Medical devices, employment/hiring tools, credit scoring, law enforcement, critical infrastructure (power, water), education grading.

Yes, used in high-stakes domain No high-stakes domain

3. User Interaction & Synthetic Content

Does the AI interact directly with humans or generate synthetic media (text, audio, deepfakes)?

Examples: Conversational chatbots, AI image/video generators, automated voice callers, deepfake synthesis.

Yes, direct interaction or synthetic content No direct human interaction / purely background processing

4. Model Type

Are you developing or fine-tuning a foundational General-Purpose AI (GPAI) model?

Examples: Training LLMs or foundational multimodal models intended for broad downstream applications.

Yes, developing foundational model No, integrating existing APIs or narrow rules

Compliance Classification

Estimated risk tier under EU AI Act

Minimal / No Risk

Category: Minimal Risk

Your AI system falls under the minimal risk tier. Most AI applications currently in use in the EU belong to this category.

📋 Actionable Checklist

What is the EU AI Act Risk Checker?

The EU AI Act Risk Checker is an interactive assessment tool that helps you evaluate an AI system against the risk based framework of the European Union AI Act.

Answer questions about your AI system, its intended purpose and how it is used to receive an indicative risk classification and a checklist of requirements that may apply.

The EU AI Act uses a risk based approach covering prohibited practices, high-risk systems, transparency obligations and minimal or no risk systems.

How does the AI Act risk assessment work?

The classification of an AI system depends heavily on its intended purpose and specific use case, rather than simply whether the technology itself is considered “AI”. High risk classification can arise, for example, from certain applications covered by Annex III or from AI systems that are safety components of products covered by relevant EU product legislation.

The checker uses your answers to identify which risk category may be relevant and which areas of the AI Act deserve further review.

What risk levels can the checker identify?

The assessment covers four broad categories: Unacceptable Risk – prohibited AI practices, High Risk – AI systems subject to extensive requirements, Transparency Risk – systems subject to specific transparency obligations, Minimal or No Risk – systems generally subject to fewer AI Act requirements.

The European Commission’s transparency obligations under Article 50 began applying on 2 August 2026, making this area particularly relevant for systems involving AI interaction, AI generated content, deepfakes, emotion recognition or biometric categorisation.

Generate a compliance checklist

After the assessment, the tool can produce an interactive checklist highlighting areas that may require attention, such as transparency, documentation, human oversight, risk management or other obligations relevant to the identified category.

For high risk systems, the AI Act includes requirements covering areas such as risk management, data quality, logging, documentation, information for deployers, human oversight, accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity.

FAQ

Does this tool confirm that my AI system is legally compliant?

No. The checker provides an indicative assessment based on the information you enter. It does not certify compliance or replace a legal assessment.

Why does the intended purpose of an AI system matter?

Under the AI Act, classification can depend on what an AI system is intended to do and the specific context in which it is used. The same underlying technology may therefore have different regulatory implications depending on its use case.

Are the AI Act requirements already in force?

The AI Act applies in stages rather than all at once. Some provisions have already applied, while other requirements have later application dates. For example, the Commission states that Article 50 transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026, while certain high-risk obligations have later application dates.
