EU AI Act Risk Classifier
Classify your AI system across the AI Act's five risk tiers in about 90 seconds. The classifier walks through Article 5 prohibited practices, Annex III high-risk domains, GPAI thresholds, and Article 50 transparency obligations — then returns the obligation stack you need to plan against.
Does your system fall under any prohibited practice?
Article 5 of the EU AI Act lists practices that cannot be deployed on the EU market regardless of risk-mitigation. If any of these apply, the classification stops here.
Questions about the classifier
Is this a legal substitute for a formal AI Act conformity assessment?
No. This is a fast triage tool to direct you at the correct obligation set under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Formal conformity assessment, technical documentation under Annex IV, and notified-body involvement for high-risk systems all require qualified review.
What does the classifier check?
It walks through (1) Article 5 prohibited practices, (2) Annex III high-risk use-case domains, (3) Annex I safety-component status under Article 6(1), (4) general-purpose AI scope under Article 51, (5) the 10^25 FLOPs systemic-risk threshold under Article 51(2), and (6) Article 50 transparency triggers.
Does the tool store my answers?
No. The classifier runs entirely in your browser — answers stay in component state and are not transmitted to a server, logged, or persisted.
When did the AI Act enter into force?
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 entered into force on 1 August 2024. Article 5 prohibitions apply from 2 February 2025; GPAI obligations from 2 August 2025; the bulk of high-risk obligations from 2 August 2026; with some Annex I high-risk obligations phased in to 2 August 2027.
How does this connect to AIGP exam preparation?
The IAPP AIGP exam covers the EU AI Act in detail — including risk classification, the Annex III domains, and GPAI obligations. Working through this classifier mirrors the kind of scenario-based reasoning the exam tests, and Startege's full AIGP track maps every clause to flashcards and practice questions.
