Learn how the EU AI Act applies to your organisation. Answer a few quick questions to understand your risk classification.

Annex III Risk Classification Check

Answer each question about your AI systems. A single "Yes" is enough to place you in a high-risk category under Article 6 and Annex III.

Step 1 of 9
Scope · Article 2

Is your AI system placed on the market or put into service in the EU, or does it affect people located in the EU?

This includes systems deployed by non-EU providers if the output is used within the EU.

Step 2 of 9
Annex III, Category 1: Biometrics

Does your AI perform biometric identification, categorisation, or emotion recognition of people?

Examples: facial recognition, voice identification, or systems inferring emotions, political opinions, or ethnic origin.

Step 3 of 9
Annex III, Category 2: Critical Infrastructure

This includes AI controlling safety components or acting as a decision-making layer in infrastructure.

Step 4 of 9
Annex III, Category 3: Education & Training

Does your AI make or significantly influence decisions about hiring, promotion, pay, task allocation, or monitoring of workers?

Examples: CV screening, performance scoring, employee monitoring, or scheduling that affects employment conditions.

Step 6 of 9
Annex III, Category 5: Essential Services

Does your AI perform credit scoring, assess insurance risk, evaluate eligibility for public benefits, or determine access to essential private services?

Examples: automated loan decisioning, insurance underwriting models, welfare eligibility screening, or utilities access scoring.

Step 7 of 9
Annex III, Category 6: Law Enforcement

Does your AI assist law enforcement in assessing risk, predicting criminal behaviour, analysing evidence, or conducting investigative activities?

Examples: predictive policing tools, AI-assisted evidence analysis, polygraph-style systems, crime risk scoring.

Step 8 of 9
Annex III, Category 7: Migration & Border Control

Does your AI assess individuals for visa applications, asylum decisions, border crossing risk, or travel document verification?

Examples: automated visa screening, lie-detection tools at borders, biometric border systems, or migration risk profiling.

Step 9 of 9
Annex III, Category 8: Justice & Democracy

Does your AI support judicial decisions, legal fact-finding, or influence democratic processes such as elections or political advertising targeting?

Examples: AI assisting courts in assessing case outcomes, legal research systems influencing judicial reasoning, or AI targeting voters.
