EU AI Act — frequently asked questions
We summarise the EU AI Act’s lengthy official text into an interactive form for your context and help identify which rules may apply to your organisation.
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is the European Union’s first comprehensive regulation on artificial intelligence.
It classifies AI models and systems by potential risk level. Its core aims are to support innovation and technological development while creating market transparency and protecting users’ fundamental rights and safety.
Who does the EU AI Act apply to, and what are the penalties?
Even if your company or startup is based outside the EU (e.g. in Türkiye), you are in scope if your AI product is placed on the EU market, put into service, or if the system’s outputs are used within the EU.
Non-compliance can lead to severe administrative fines—up to EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover, depending on the infringement and risk category.
What are the risk categories under the EU AI Act?
The Act groups AI systems into four main risk levels. Systems posing unacceptable risk (e.g. social scoring, manipulative techniques) are banned outright.
High-risk systems (e.g. health, education, recruitment, biometric identification) face strict requirements. Limited-risk systems (e.g. chatbots, deepfakes) require transparency notices, while minimal-risk systems (e.g. spam filters) generally have no additional legal constraints.
Why does EU AI Act compliance matter for AI companies and startups?
Compliance is not only a legal duty; it is strategic for global market access, fundraising, and customer trust. Early movers gain a significant advantage when entering the European market.
Demonstrating a compliance process is often decisive in B2B deals and investment due diligence.
When does the EU AI Act apply, and what is the transition period?
The EU AI Act was formally adopted in mid-2024; obligations phase in gradually by risk group.
Rules on prohibited systems apply within the first six months; GPAI (general-purpose AI) rules within twelve months; and core high-risk obligations become fully binding over 24–36 months. Starting infrastructure preparation now reduces operational risk.
How does this AI risk and compliance wizard work?
This tool is an interactive guide that helps you identify your system’s possible risk classification under the EU AI Act from your answers.
Results are not official legal opinions or final conformity statements. They offer a strong starting point for your technical teams, product owners, and legal function to begin an AI risk assessment.
