And on what you use AI for
Prohibited practices
For example social scoring or untargeted scraping of facial images. Not allowed at all.
High-risk uses
For example employment, education, critical infrastructure or essential services. Strict obligations: risk management, data quality, logging, documentation and human oversight.
Transparency obligations
People must be able to tell they are dealing with AI; AI-generated content and deepfakes are labelled.
General-purpose AI models
Obligations for model providers: transparency, copyright and, for models with systemic risk, assessing and mitigating it.
Minimal risk
For example spam filters. No specific rules.
