AI Risk Assessment ToolEU AI Act transparency obligations (Article 50)
Chatbots must tell people they're talking to AI, and AI-generated or manipulated content must be marked. These duties apply even when the system isn't high-risk.
Screening questions
- Does it interact directly with people (e.g. a chatbot or voice assistant) without it being obvious they are dealing with AI?
- Does it generate or manipulate text, images, audio or video (synthetic content)?
- Do you use it for emotion recognition or biometric categorisation of people exposed to it?
- Does it create deepfakes, or generate text published to inform the public on matters of public interest?
If this applies
People must be told they're dealing with AI, or AI-generated content must be marked. These apply from 2 August 2026; systems already on the market get until 2 December 2026 for machine-readable marking.
