Compliance - Understanding the risks

Understanding AI risk 

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems according to the level of risk they pose to people, safety and fundamental rights. These categories determine the obligations organisations must meet before AI systems can be placed on the market or used.

Understanding where your AI systems fit within the framework is the first step towards compliance. From low-risk applications with minimal requirements to high-risk systems subject to stricter rules, knowing your risk level will help you identify the actions your organisation may need to take.

Achieving compliance

Preparing for compliance starts with understanding your organisation's responsibilities. The AI Act Compliance Checker can help you identify whether the legislation applies to your AI systems, understand your potential obligations and explore the next steps.

If you need further guidance, Ireland's National Competent Authorities oversee compliance within specific sectors and work alongside the AI Office of Ireland to support the implementation of the Act.
