    Why Use Our EU AI Act Compliance Tool?

    Turn your system facts into a reviewable EU AI Act risk screen, transparency notices, and documentation prompts—without treating software output as certification.

    AI-System Documentation

    Organize an AI-system inventory, risk questions, documentation prompts, and transparency disclosures for review against the EU AI Act.

    Risk-Based Classification

    Uses your answers to suggest a risk category and relevant documentation prompts. Treat the result as a screening aid, not a binding legal classification.

    Maintain an Evidence Trail

    Save the information behind your assessment and revisit it as the system or official guidance changes. Scheduled monitoring is a beta research aid; it does not automatically establish compliance.

    How It Works

    Three practical steps in an evidence-backed EU AI Act compliance workflow

    1

    AI System Assessment

    Answer questions about your AI system: what it does, how it makes decisions, what data it uses, and who it affects.

    2

    Risk Classification

    The tool suggests a risk category and review questions from your answers. Validate the intended purpose, role, exceptions, and current official guidance before relying on it.

    3

    Generate Documentation

    Create editable assessment, transparency, and technical-documentation drafts. PolicyForge does not issue a conformity declaration or certification.

    What is the EU AI Act?

    The EU AI Act is a risk-based legal framework for AI. Prohibited-practice and AI-literacy rules have applied since February 2025, GPAI rules since August 2025, and Article 50 transparency obligations since August 2, 2026. High-risk timing depends on the category and the current implementation timetable.

    Who Needs AI Act Compliance?

    Obligations depend on whether an organization is a provider, deployer, importer, distributor, product manufacturer, authorized representative, or affected operator, plus where the system or its output is placed or used. Classify the role and system before assuming a duty.

    What's Required?

    Requirements vary by operator role and system type. Article 50 covers specified interactions and AI-generated or manipulated content; GPAI providers have separate documentation, copyright, and training-summary duties; high-risk providers face risk, data, documentation, logging, oversight, quality, and conformity duties when those provisions apply.

    EU AI Act Risk Categories

    A practical screening summary; final classification depends on the Act, intended purpose, operator role, and applicable exceptions

    Unacceptable Risk

    Banned AI practices

    • Social scoring by governments
    • Exploiting vulnerabilities of specific groups
    • Subliminal manipulation
    • Real-time biometric identification in public (with exceptions)

    High Risk

    Strict requirements & conformity assessment

    • AI in critical infrastructure
    • Educational/vocational training
    • Employment/HR decisions
    • Essential services (credit scoring)
    • Law enforcement
    • Migration/border control
    • Justice system
    • Biometric identification/categorization

    Limited Risk

    Transparency obligations

    • Chatbots & conversational AI
    • Deepfakes & synthetic media
    • Emotion recognition systems
    • Biometric categorization

    Minimal Risk

    Voluntary compliance

    • Spam filters
    • Inventory management AI
    • AI-enabled video games
    • Recommendation engines (non-critical)

    What PolicyForge Covers

    Purpose-built for the EU AI Act's phased, role-specific implementation timeline

    Risk Classification Engine

    Screens the intended purpose against risk questions and Annex III themes. The result is a review aid, not an automatic or legally binding classification.

    Technical Documentation

    Creates editable documentation prompts from supplied facts. It does not prove that a risk-management, data-governance, quality, or conformity process exists.

    Enforcement Timeline Tracking

    Records official milestones and sources, including February 2025 prohibitions, August 2025 GPAI rules, August 2026 Article 50 transparency rules, and the current category-specific high-risk timetable.

    7 Common EU AI Act Mistakes to Avoid

    Review these common gaps against the duties and penalty tier that actually applies

    Misclassifying Risk Level

    Incorrectly assessing AI system as low-risk when it's actually high-risk. High-risk includes: HR/recruitment AI, credit scoring, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and systems affecting safety/rights. Misclassification leads to non-compliance and penalties.

    No Risk Management System

    High-risk AI requires continuous risk management throughout the lifecycle: risk identification, estimation/evaluation, mitigation, and monitoring. One-time assessment isn't enough—you need ongoing processes.

    Inadequate Data Governance

    Not documenting training data sources, quality measures, biases, or relevance. AI Act requires detailed data governance for high-risk systems: data quality checks, bias testing, representativeness validation.

    Missing Technical Documentation

    Not maintaining comprehensive technical documentation covering: system design, development process, data sources, training methodology, testing procedures, performance metrics, and limitations. Required for conformity assessment.

    No Transparency for Users

    Failing to inform users they're interacting with AI (chatbots, deepfakes). Limited-risk AI must clearly disclose AI usage. High-risk AI deployers must inform affected persons about the system's use and purpose.

    Ignoring Foundation Model Requirements

    General-purpose AI/foundation model providers must maintain technical documentation, comply with EU copyright law, publish training data summaries, and (if systemic risk) conduct adversarial testing and report serious incidents.

    No Human Oversight

    High-risk AI requires human oversight measures: humans must understand the system, monitor operation, interpret outputs, and intervene when needed. Fully autonomous high-risk AI without human oversight violates the Act.
