The AI-Act applies in general to every AI-system.
AI system means a machine-based system that is designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and that may exhibit adaptiveness after deployment, and that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments.
In case the AI system you are using has a level of autonomy and can adapt after deployment, it is likely, that it must meet the requirements of the AI-Act.
For example
If the AI-system only takes information
- without explaining the information with its own words
- or without giving advice on the basis of the information
it may not be considered an AI system by the European Commission.
If the AI-system however answers questions that were not pre-planned, creates summaries, or selects content based on context, it is very likely to be classified as an AI system and must adhere to the AI-Act.
If you are unsure whether the AI-system you are using triggers obligations for your company you should seek further advice.
