Question 1

What are the EU AI Act risk levels?

Accepted Answer

The EU AI Act defines four risk levels: Unacceptable (banned outright under Article 5), High Risk (Annex III systems with full compliance obligations), Limited Risk (mainly transparency obligations under Article 50), and Minimal Risk (no specific obligations beyond AI literacy under Article 4).

Question 2

Is this free EU AI Act risk assessment legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool gives a fast, plain-language indication of where your AI system likely sits on the EU AI Act risk spectrum based on five questions. It is not legal advice. Final risk classification depends on the specific facts of your system and your role as Provider, Deployer, Importer, or Distributor.

Question 3

When does the EU AI Act apply?

Accepted Answer

Most obligations for High Risk AI systems under Annex III apply from August 2, 2026. Bans on Unacceptable Risk practices have applied since February 2, 2025. General-purpose AI model rules started August 2, 2025.

Question 4

Do I need to sign up to use the risk assessment tool?

Accepted Answer

No — the assessment itself is free and requires no signup. You only need to create a free Complizo account if you want the full compliance report: which exact documents you need to produce, which Annex III category applies, and a step-by-step plan to be ready by August 2, 2026.
