Is my AI system high-risk under the EU AI Act?

Tick everything that applies to your AI system or agent. The classifier follows Art. 5 (prohibited practices), Art. 6(1) with Annex I (safety components of regulated products) and Art. 6(2)-(3) with Annex III (high-risk use cases). Runs entirely in your browser.

1. Prohibited practices Art. 5 Social scoring of people leading to unjustified or disproportionate detrimental treatment Subliminal, manipulative or deceptive techniques, or exploiting vulnerabilities (age, disability, social or economic situation), causing significant harm Predicting that a person will commit a crime based solely on profiling or personality traits Building facial recognition databases by untargeted scraping of images from the internet or CCTV Inferring emotions of people in the workplace or in education (except medical or safety reasons) Biometric categorisation to infer race, political opinions, trade union membership, religion, sex life or sexual orientation Real-time remote biometric identification in public spaces for law enforcement

2. Regulated products Art. 6(1), Annex I The AI is a product, or a safety component of a product, covered by EU harmonisation law listed in Annex I (machinery, toys, lifts, radio equipment, medical devices, in-vitro diagnostics, vehicles, civil aviation, marine equipment, rail, pressure equipment...) and that product needs a third-party conformity assessment

3. Use cases Art. 6(2), Annex III Biometrics: remote biometric identification, biometric categorisation by sensitive attributes, emotion recognition Annex III(1) Critical infrastructure: safety component in managing digital infrastructure, road traffic, water, gas, heating or electricity supply Annex III(2) Education: admission or assignment, evaluating learning outcomes, deciding the level of education, detecting cheating in tests Annex III(3) Employment: recruiting, screening or ranking candidates, decisions on promotion or termination, allocating tasks by behaviour or traits, monitoring or evaluating workers Annex III(4) Essential services: eligibility for public benefits, creditworthiness or credit scoring (not fraud detection), risk assessment and pricing for life or health insurance, triage of emergency calls Annex III(5) Law enforcement: victim risk, polygraph-like tools, evidence reliability, re-offending risk, profiling in investigations Annex III(6) Migration, asylum, border control: risk assessment, examining applications, detecting or identifying people Annex III(7) Justice and democracy: assisting judicial authorities in researching or applying the law, influencing elections or voting behaviour Annex III(8)

4. Derogation Art. 6(3) The system profiles natural persons (automated evaluation of personal aspects: work performance, economic situation, health, preferences, behaviour, location...) It only performs a narrow procedural task It only improves the result of a previously completed human activity It only detects decision-making patterns or deviations, without replacing or influencing the human assessment without proper review It only performs a preparatory task to an assessment relevant to an Annex III use case

5. Your role Provider: we develop the system and place it on the market or put it into service under our name Deployer: we use a system built by someone else under our authority

This is an orientation tool, not legal advice. It reflects Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as published; the Commission can amend Annex III and the application dates of the high-risk obligations. A provider relying on the Art. 6(3) derogation must document that assessment and register the system (Art. 6(4), Art. 49(2)).
