When does the EU AI Act apply to my AI system?

The EU AI Act applies when a provider, deployer, importer, distributor or product manufacturer places on the EU market, puts into service or uses an AI system that affects people in the EU under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

What's the difference between high-risk and limited-risk AI?

High-risk AI is mainly defined by Article 6, Annex I and Annex III and carries technical documentation, risk management, human oversight and conformity duties. Limited-risk AI often triggers Article 50 transparency duties such as chatbot disclosure or synthetic-content labelling.

Which Articles apply to chatbots?

Chatbots and AI systems that interact directly with people commonly trigger Article 50 transparency obligations under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, including disclosure that the person is interacting with an AI system unless this is obvious.

Do I need a Notified Body?

A Notified Body may be needed for certain high-risk AI systems, especially where conformity assessment routes require third-party assessment. The answer depends on Article 6 classification, Annex III category and the sector-specific product framework.

What's the August 2 2026 deadline?

Annex III high-risk AI obligations generally apply from 2 August 2026. Article 6(1) product-safety high-risk systems and their corresponding obligations apply from 2 August 2027. Article 4 AI literacy and Article 5 prohibited-practice rules have applied since 2 February 2025.

Who counts as an AI provider versus deployer?

A provider develops or places an AI system on the market or puts it into service under its name. A deployer uses an AI system under its authority, except for personal non-professional use. Both roles can have obligations under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

How does the EU AI Act treat GPAI models?

Does Article 4 AI literacy apply even if my result is minimal risk?
