SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams deploying AI systems in the EU face complex, phased obligations under the EU AI Act (2025-2027), and missing a classification or conformity step risks penalties up to 35M EUR or 7% of worldwide turnover. This Skill pressure-tests any AI system through six Article-cited questions before EU placement, conformity assessment, or annual compliance refresh.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Risk Classification: Determines whether a system is prohibited (Article 5), high-risk (Article 6 + Annex III), limited, or minimal risk, including GPAI and systemic-risk thresholds (Article 51, 10^25 FLOPs).
  • Conformity Assessment Planning: Selects Module A vs Module H routes (Article 43) and tracks Annex IV technical documentation requirements.
  • Role-Based Obligation Matrix: Maps provider, deployer, importer, distributor, and authorized-representative obligations (Articles 22-27) with phased deadlines.
  • Use Case: Before launching a hiring-screening AI tool in the EU, run the readiness check to confirm it is high-risk under Annex III, plan the conformity assessment route, verify Article 50 transparency disclosures, and produce a verdict with the top three remediation actions.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run an EU AI Act readiness assessment on your AI system, describing its purpose, users, and training compute, and receive an Article-cited verdict with an obligation matrix.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my AI system complies with the EU AI Act?

Run a structured readiness assessment covering six questions: prohibited practices (Article 5), high-risk classification (Article 6 + Annex III), conformity route (Article 43), organizational role (Article 25), transparency duties (Article 50), and GPAI status (Articles 51-55). Each verdict must cite the specific Article.

What makes an AI system high-risk under the EU AI Act?

A system is high-risk if it falls under Annex III categories: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, or justice. The Article 6(3) carve-out applies only if conditions (a)-(d) are met and no profiling of natural persons occurs.

When do EU AI Act obligations take effect?

Obligations phase in under Article 113: prohibitions and AI literacy from 2025-02-02, GPAI and governance rules from 2025-08-02, most high-risk obligations from 2026-08-02, and remaining Annex I product rules from 2027-08-02.

Does the EU AI Act apply to general-purpose AI models?

Yes, GPAI providers have a parallel compliance track under Articles 53-55, including technical documentation, copyright policies, and training-data summaries. Models trained with at least 10^25 FLOPs are presumed to have systemic risk and face additional evaluation and incident-reporting duties.

Can GDPR or ISO 42001 work be reused for EU AI Act compliance?

Yes, ISO 42001 evidence can support the Article 17 quality management system, ISO 27001 evidence supports Article 15 cybersecurity, and a GDPR DPIA can inform the Article 27 fundamental rights impact assessment. Cross-framework mapping avoids duplicating compliance work.

What are the penalties for violating EU AI Act prohibitions?

Engaging in prohibited AI practices under Article 5 carries fines up to 35M EUR or 7% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Prohibited systems cannot be placed on the EU market outside narrow Article 5(2) carve-outs.
