/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
