/cs:ai-act-readiness — EU AI Act Forcing Questions

Command: /cs:ai-act-readiness <system>

The EU AI Act compliance operator pressure-tests any AI system before EU deployment. Six Article-cited questions before any EU placement, conformity assessment, or annual compliance refresh.

When to Run

• During AI-system intake review (per new system or material change)
• Before placing an AI system on the EU market
• Before signing the EU declaration of conformity (Article 47)
• During annual compliance refresh (Article 113 phasing brings new obligations)
• When the organization's role changes (deployer becomes provider via Article 25(1) substantial modification)
• When training compute approaches 10^25 FLOPs (Article 51 systemic-risk threshold)

The Six EU AI Act Questions

1. Article 5: Is this a prohibited AI practice?

Penalty: up to 35M EUR or 7% worldwide turnover.

• 8 categories: subliminal manipulation, exploitation of vulnerabilities, social scoring, predictive policing, untargeted facial scraping, emotion recognition in workplace/education, biometric categorisation by sensitive attributes, real-time public biometric ID by law enforcement
• Run ai_system_risk_classifier.py
• If yes → STOP. Cannot place on EU market. No exceptions outside Article 5(2) carve-outs.

2. Article 6 + Annex III: Is this high-risk?

Annex III triggers high-risk; Article 6(3) carve-out conditional.

• 8 categories: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, justice
• Carve-out applies only if Article 6(3)(a)-(d) AND no profiling of natural persons
• Profiling overrides carve-out (Article 6(3) last sentence)
• Run ai_system_risk_classifier.py

3. Article 43: For high-risk, Module A or Module H?

Biometrics → Module H (notified body) by default; others → Module A if harmonised standards applied.

• Run conformity_assessment_planner.py
• Module A (Annex VI): internal control with presumption of conformity if Article 40 harmonised standards applied
• Module H (Annex VII): full QMS + notified body for biometrics or where standards lacking
• Annex IV technical documentation: 8 items required before placing on market

4. Article 25: What role does the company play?

Provider obligations are heaviest; substantial modification turns deployer into provider.

• Provider (Article 3(3)): placed on market; full Title III + Article 73 reporting
• Deployer (Article 3(4)): Article 26 obligations + Article 27 FRIA if public sector
• Importer (Article 3(6)): Article 23 verification of conformity
• Distributor (Article 3(7)): Article 24 CE marking verification
• Authorized representative (Article 22): non-EU providers must appoint
• Run ai_act_obligation_tracker.py

5. Article 50: Are transparency obligations satisfied?

In force 2 Aug 2025.

• Article 50(1): disclose AI interaction to natural persons (chatbots, virtual agents)
• Article 50(2): mark synthetic content as AI-generated
• Article 50(3): disclose emotion recognition / biometric categorisation (outside Article 5 prohibitions)
• Article 50(4): disclose deepfakes (image, audio, video) as AI-generated

6. Articles 51-55: Is this a GPAI? Does it have systemic risk?

GPAI has parallel track; systemic risk above 10^25 FLOPs.

• Article 3(63): general-purpose AI model definition
• Article 51: systemic-risk presumption (≥ 10^25 FLOPs training compute) or Commission designation
• Article 53: all GPAI providers — Annex XI technical docs, Annex XII downstream info, copyright policy, training-data summary
• Article 55: systemic-risk GPAI additional obligations — model evaluations, adversarial testing, incident reporting, cybersecurity
• Article 54: non-EU GPAI providers must appoint authorized representative

## The Decision Being Made
[classify | conformity-route | obligation-scope | annual-refresh]

## Risk Classification
- Tier: prohibited | high_risk | limited_risk | minimal_risk
- Citation: Article X(Y) + Annex Z if applicable
- Rationale: <Article-cited rationale>
- GPAI: yes/no
- Systemic-risk GPAI: yes/no (per Article 51 10^25 FLOPs threshold)

## Conformity Assessment (if high-risk)
- Module: A | A_with_caveats | H | sectoral
- Citation: Article 43 + Annex VI/VII
- Notified body required: yes | no | optional
- Annex IV pack status: complete | in-progress | not-started

## Obligation Matrix
- Total obligations: N
- By deadline phase: 2025-02-02=A, 2025-08-02=B, 2026-08-02=C, 2027-08-02=D
- Highest-priority unmet obligation: <Article + description>

## Transparency (Article 50)
- 50(1) interaction disclosure: yes | no
- 50(2) synthetic content marking: yes | no | NA
- 50(3) emotion recognition disclosure: yes | no | NA
- 50(4) deepfake disclosure: yes | no | NA

## Cross-Framework Reuse
