AI ACT / DECISION INTELLIGENCE
Know the system.
Map the rules.
A clear path through EU AI Act risk categories, actor roles and staged obligations. Start with the AI use case, then build a reasoned governance response.
The answer shapes classification, responsibilities and the timing of the relevant rules.
↗01 / WORK THROUGH THE QUESTIONS
From use case to next action.
Follow a decision path grounded in the system’s purpose and your role.
Define the use
Record the intended purpose, context and people affected.
↗02CLASSIFICATIONTest the category
Screen prohibited practices, high-risk criteria and transparency duties.
↗03ACCOUNTABILITYIdentify your role
Separate provider, deployer and model-provider responsibilities.
↗04EVIDENCEPlan the response
Document your reasoning, controls and ongoing oversight.
↗02 / CLASSIFICATION LANDSCAPE
One Act. Distinct rule sets.
A category is a starting point for reading the relevant provision, not a shortcut to a legal conclusion.
03 / ACTOR MAP
Same technology.
Different roles.
The obligations can change depending on who develops, places on the market or uses the AI system. Map your position before assigning the work.
