AI System Definition Checker

Article 3(1): "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."

If your system isn't an AI system, the Act doesn't apply. If it is, you need to classify it into a risk tier and meet the corresponding obligations. The definition is the first gate.

Usually no. A purely rule-based system where a human has explicitly coded the logic for every input typically lacks the 'inference' and 'autonomy' that the Act requires. But the line is fuzzy — a complex rule engine with optimisation may cross it. Document your rationale.

This tool gives you a one-shot indicative answer. The full product re-runs the definition test as part of every classification, stores your reasoning in the audit log, and links it to the system record permanently.
