Does the EU AI Act apply to what you actually do?

The Act does not regulate AI in general. It names particular uses — eight areas in Annex III, a list of prohibited practices in Article 5, disclosure duties in Article 50 — and everything else falls outside its risk tiers. The difficulty is that it names them in legal terms, not in the words an organisation uses for its own work.

So start from what you do. 8 industries, 38 catalogued use cases, of which 8 are prohibited outright and 19 are high-risk. Every answer cites the provision that produces it, so you can check it against the text rather than take our word for it.
