Frequently asked questions
- What are the EU AI Act risk categories?
- Four tiers: prohibited practices (Article 5, banned since 2 February 2025), high-risk systems (Article 6 + Annexes I/III — heavy obligations from 2 December 2027 / 2 August 2028 after the Digital Omnibus postponement), transparency risk (Article 50 — disclosure and marking duties since 2 August 2026), and minimal risk (no mandatory obligations).
- Did the Digital Omnibus delay the EU AI Act high-risk deadline?
- Yes. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 postponed the Chapter III high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 for Annex III systems and 2 August 2028 for Annex I embedded systems. It did not move the Article 50 transparency obligations, which apply since 2 August 2026.
- Is this assessment legal advice?
- No. It is a simplified self-assessment based on the text of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended, for general information only. Consult a qualified lawyer for advice on your specific situation.
- What are the penalties under the EU AI Act?
- Up to €35,000,000 or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for prohibited practices (Article 99(3)), and up to €15,000,000 or 3% for breaching high-risk or transparency obligations (Article 99(4)), whichever is higher.
