Suggerimenti

  • If you're unsure of an answer, choose "Don't know": the tool will still consider the most cautious scenario in calculating the score.
  • Answer thinking about your AI system as it is today in production, not how you'd like it to be: the evaluation only makes sense if it reflects current reality.
  • Mark down the deadlines indicated for obligations (e.g., August 2, 2026, for high-risk): the AI Act has a progressive application and terms vary by category.

What is the European AI Act and who does it apply to?

It's Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, world's first organic law on artificial intelligence. Applies to anyone developing, distributing or using AI systems within EU, including creators, independent developers and small startups, not just large tech companies.

What are the 4 risk categories of the AI Act?

Unacceptable Risk (practices banned from February 2, 2025; e.g., social scoring), High-risk (systems in sensitive areas like work, credit, health with stringent obligations from August 2, 2026), Limited Risk (transparency requirements; e.g., declaring that a content is AI-generated, art. 50) and Minimal Risk (no specific obligation, majority of AI systems).

Even simple chatbot or blog with AI-assisted contents falls under the AI Act?

Yes, it generally falls into the "limited risk" category: the main obligation (art. 50) is transparency, i.e., clearly informing users that they are interacting with an AI system or that a content (text, image, audio, video) has been generated or manipulated artificially, including deepfakes.

What are GPAI obligations?

Specific requirements for general-purpose AI models (e.g., large language models), in force from August 2, 2025: technical documentation, transparency on training data and additional risk assessments and mitigation measures for high-risk models.

Is the checker's result a binding legal opinion?

No, it is an informative self-assessment tool based on a structured quiz. It does not replace specific digital law/AI Act consulting with a specialized lawyer: before taking operational or compliance decisions, consult a qualified attorney.
