EU AI Act Governance

Structured answers to the core questions about AI Act compliance: what screening involves, how risk classification works, what obligations follow, and what deployers must actually do.

Screening & Classification
What is AI compliance screening?
The structured review that determines regulatory scope, risk classification, actor role, and obligations.
How are high-risk systems identified?
Based on intended use, Annex III context, and actor role — not on technology alone.
What are prohibited AI practices?
Eight categories under Article 5 that are prohibited outright, checked before classification.
What are actor roles?
Provider, deployer, importer, distributor — the role determines the obligations.
What is actor role assessment?
The governed determination of which role an organisation holds for a specific AI system.
What is AI re-screening?
Reassessing compliance when regulation, system, or use case changes.
Obligations & Evidence
What obligations follow from classification?
Risk classification + actor role = concrete obligations across transparency, oversight, documentation.
What is an obligation matrix?
Translates classification into actionable obligations with evidence requirements and completion state.
What must deployers do?
Article 26 gives deployers their own obligations — not just the provider's problem.
What does human oversight mean?
Named individuals with competence, authority, and documented intervention rights.
What is technical documentation?
The evidence backbone under Article 11 and Annex IV.
What are AI literacy obligations?
Article 4 requires sufficient AI literacy — role-dependent and evidence-governed.
What are GPAI models?
Foundation models with specific provider obligations and deployer governance needs.
AI in HR — why high-risk?
Annex III, point 4: recruitment, evaluation, monitoring, and worker management.
What is conformity assessment?
How providers demonstrate compliance — self-assessment or notified body.
What is post-market monitoring?
Ongoing provider obligation to monitor high-risk systems throughout their lifetime.
