EU AI Act pre-check

Answer eight questions with one AI system in mind. The tool shows which headings to look at, given your EU link, your role and what the system does, and the date each rule applies from. The result is not a classification or a legal opinion; it is the agenda for the conversation with your legal counsel.

1 / 8What is the system's link to the EU?

Article 2: what matters is not where the company is established but where the system or its output ends up.

2 / 8What is your role for this system?

The role is set per system; one company can be a provider for one product and a deployer of another tool.

3 / 8Does the system do any of the following?
  • Manipulative or deceptive techniques that steer people's decisions without their noticing
  • Exploiting vulnerabilities such as age, disability or economic situation
  • Scoring people on their social behaviour (social scoring)
  • Emotion recognition in the workplace or in education
  • Inferring traits such as race, political opinion or sexual orientation from biometric data
  • Building a database by collecting facial images in bulk from the internet or camera footage
  • Generating intimate images of a person without their consent

Examples of the prohibited practices in Article 5. See the article itself for the full list and its exceptions.

4 / 8Is the system used in decisions about people in one of these areas?
  • Biometric identification and categorisation
  • Critical infrastructure (energy, water, traffic)
  • Education: admission, exam assessment, monitoring students
  • Employment: recruitment, promotion, task allocation, performance monitoring
  • Access to essential services: creditworthiness, life and health insurance pricing, public benefits
  • Law enforcement, migration and border control
  • Justice and democratic processes

The high-risk areas of use in Annex III.

5 / 8Is the system a safety component of a product covered by EU product legislation?

Annex I: AI that carries a safety function in products such as machinery, toys, lifts or medical devices.

6 / 8Does the system talk or write directly with people?

Article 50: a chat assistant or a voice assistant, for example.

7 / 8Does the system generate or alter text, images, audio or video?

Article 50: synthetic content and deepfakes.

8 / 8Do you place your own general-purpose AI model on the EU market?

Using someone else's model through an API is a "no" here.

The headings to look at

0 / 8 answered

The headings build here as you answer.

Dates follow European Commission sources as of November 2026 and can change. This result is not legal advice; assess it together with your legal counsel. Your answers are recorded without your identity.

How does this tool work?

  • Each question maps to an article or annex of the Act; which one is written under the question.
  • "Not sure" means the heading needs a look, and is shown in the result like a "yes".
  • Each heading carries the date its rule applies from. Dates follow the calendar after the AI Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744).
  • The tool is for one system. If you have several, answer for each separately.

Sources

What does this tool not show?

  • The legal classification of your system. High risk, the exceptions and your role are assessed together with your contracts and the context of use.
  • The detail of importer, distributor and general-purpose model provider obligations.
  • Obligations under GDPR, KVKK or sector legislation.
  • Future changes to the calendar. Check the Commission page before you plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool legal advice?

No. It is a pre-check that shows which headings to look at, following the structure of the Act. The scope and classification of a particular system, and your role, should be assessed with your legal counsel together with your contracts and the context of use. Corrplus does not give legal advice.

Our company is outside the EU. Can the EU AI Act apply to us?

It can. Under Article 2, providers that place an AI system on the EU market are in scope wherever they are established, and providers and deployers outside the EU can be in scope when the system's output is used in the EU. Internal use only outside the EU is generally out of scope.

What are the dates based on?

The calendar published by the European Commission and the AI Act Service Desk as of November 2026, after the AI Omnibus. The calendar has changed before and may change again; check the Commission page before you plan.

Are my answers stored?

Yes, without your identity. The answers you choose are recorded so we can see how the tool is used, without your name, email or IP address, and are deleted after 12 months. If you ask for the result by email, the address you type is taken separately for that request and kept as a contact request. We do not ask what the system is or what it is called.
