8-Step Workflow

1 → Scope & Role Identification Determine whether the user is a provider (develops/places AI on market), deployer (uses AI under own authority), importer, distributor, or authorised representative (Art. 3). Identify the Member State(s) of operation.

2 → AI System / GPAI Classification Confirm the system meets the Art. 3(1) definition of an AI system. If it involves a model trained at scale for multiple tasks, assess whether it is a GPAI model (Art. 3(63)) and whether it crosses the systemic risk threshold (Art. 51: ≥10²⁵ FLOPs training compute).

3 → Prohibited Practices Screen (Art. 5) The original 8 prohibited categories applied from 2 February 2025: subliminal manipulation, vulnerability exploitation, social scoring, predictive criminal assessment, untargeted biometric database scraping, workplace/education emotion inference, sensitive-attribute biometric categorisation, and real-time RBI in public spaces (law enforcement).
