Does the EU AI Act apply to your AI system — and what do you have to do, by when? Seven questions, each cited to the article. Free, no account.

Step 1 of 6 · Your role

Which best describes your relationship to this AI system?

The AI Act splits obligations between the provider (who develops it or has it developed and places it on the market under their own name) and the deployer (who uses it under their own authority). Many organisations are both.

Provider — we build it, or place it on the market under our name (including a fine-tuned or white-labelled system)Art. 3(3); Art. 25Deployer — we use an AI system under our authority, including third-party tools such as a vendor's chatbot or ChatGPT inside our processesArt. 3(4)Both — we build it and use it ourselvesArt. 3(3)–(4)

How it works

01Prohibitions first (Article 5) — a prohibited system has no deadline, it has a stop sign.
02Then the two high-risk routes: regulated products (Annex I) and use cases (Annex III), including the Article 6(3) filter.
03Then transparency duties (Article 50) and general-purpose models (Chapter V).
04You get your tier, the dates that apply to you, your obligations by role, and links to the deep articles.

This is a documented self-assessment, not legal advice. It reflects Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 and treats the Commission's Article 6(5) classification guidelines as the draft they still are. Every rule names its article so a lawyer can check it quickly.
