How the test works
The questions follow the Regulation’s own logic: first whether there is an AI system and whether the rules reach you, then what role you play and, from there, whether the use is prohibited, high-risk or subject to transparency obligations. Depending on your answers, the test skips the blocks that don’t affect you.
Is it an AI system?
The definition in Article 3(1), in plain language.
Scope
Whether your case is connected to the EU and whether any Article 2 exclusion applies.
Your role
Provider, deployer, importer, distributor, authorised representative or product manufacturer (Article 3).
Prohibited practices
One question per point of Article 5(1), including the two new ones from the Omnibus.
High risk
Annex I products (Article 6(1)), Annex III uses (Article 6(2)) and the Article 6(3) exception.
Changes to the tool
When you become the provider of someone else’s system (Article 25).
Transparency
Chatbots, generated content, deep fakes and emotion recognition (Article 50).
General-purpose models
Whether you provide a GPAI model and whether it has systemic risk (Articles 51 to 55).
Fundamental rights
Whether you need an impact assessment (Article 27).
Every question is drafted from the official text of the Regulation on EUR-Lex, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. For the full context, read my EU AI Act guide or my analysis of why the Omnibus does not stop AI regulation.
