What counts as high-risk under EU AI Act?

High-risk covers Annex III use cases like hiring tools, loan decisions, or critical infra. It's about impact on rights/safety, not model size.

How do I check my AI system's risk level?

Map your use case to Annexes. Tools like free classifiers scan features instantly — no signup.

Will EU AI Act block my AI product launch?

Not if minimal/limited risk. High-risk needs docs and oversight — start early to avoid deal-killers.
