About this tool
Eight questions about how the system is used. You get an indicated category, the reasons tied to the articles of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and what to read next.
How the checker decides
The rules below are the whole method. They follow the structure of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and nothing else.
- Scope first (Article 2): if you answer that the use is only military, only research and development, or only personal and non-professional, the result is likely out of scope.
- Prohibited practices (Article 5): any tick on the prohibited list gives the category likely prohibited, whatever else you answer.
- High-risk (Article 6): Annex I product law that needs third-party assessment, or any Annex III area, gives high-risk. In an Annex III area, a narrow task without profiling can fall under the Article 6(3) exception, and a system that profiles people never can.
- Transparency (Article 50): if none of the above applies and the system interacts with people, generates synthetic content, recognises emotions or produces deepfakes, the result is limited risk.
- Otherwise the result is minimal risk. Your role and the general-purpose model question change which duties are listed, never the category.
