EU AI Act - Regulation (EU) 2024/1689

EU AI Act Risk Classifier

Classify your AI use case under the EU AI Act: prohibited, high-risk, limited or minimal.

How this is calculated

  1. Each use case you tick maps to a tier. Prohibited (Art 5): social scoring, manipulative or deceptive techniques, real-time remote biometric identification in public spaces for law enforcement, and emotion recognition at work or in education. High-risk (Annex III): other remote biometric identification, CV screening and education or employment decisions, credit scoring and life or health insurance pricing, law-enforcement risk assessment, and safety components of critical infrastructure. Limited (Art 50): chatbots and AI-generated content. Anything else is minimal.
  2. If you tick several, the highest tier wins.
  3. If the output is not used in the EU, the tool reports that the Act likely does not reach you and shows the tier that would apply if it did (Art 2).
  4. The headline amount is the Art 99 maximum for the tier: EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide turnover for prohibited practices, EUR 15 million or 3% for high-risk obligations, whichever is higher. The tool does not ask for turnover, so it shows the formula rather than a figure.
  5. Your role (provider, deployer or both) only decides which obligation list is shown.

Worked example

The calculator run on its default inputs:

AI use cases (select all that apply)
Chatbot / AI-generated content
Your role
Deployer - you use an AI system in your own operations
System output used in the EU / affects people in the EU
Yes

LIMITED risk - transparency obligations (Art. 50)

Transparency use cases
chatbot

With the defaults (a chatbot, you as the deployer, output used in the EU) the only use case is a transparency case, so the result is limited risk: tell people they are interacting with an AI system and label AI-generated or manipulated content. Breaches of these Art 50 duties fall under the Art 99(4) ceiling of EUR 15 million or 3% of worldwide turnover.

Limitations

Classification follows the use, not the technology, and every Art 5 practice and Annex III entry has conditions and exceptions this list compresses. The classifier does not cover the two practices the Digital Omnibus adds to Art 5 from 2 December 2026, general-purpose AI model duties beyond a note, or the rule that SMEs are fined at the lower of the two amounts (Art 99(6)). This is an indicative estimate for education and planning, not legal advice. Laws and published figures change, and regulators and courts apply discretion no calculator can model - confirm with a qualified legal or compliance professional before acting on a result.
