EU AI Act

    Compliance Made Simple

    Understand the requirements, avoid costly penalties, and achieve compliance before the next enforcement deadline.

    Comply with the requirements of EU AI Act Article 4.

    Why you need Conformitas

    Most EU AI Act duties vary by risk level and apply only to certain AI systems and companies, but essentially all organizations are in scope for Article 4 because AI is already embedded in everyday tools and workflows.

    Do teams paste and write prompts into ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar tools during their work? Then Article 4 is mandatory.

    Do apps your employees use suggest text, categorize data, or "predict" next steps? Those are AI features which means Article 4 is mandatory.

    Do employees Google things and automatically read the AI‑generated summary on top of the page? That's Gemini so Article 4 is mandatory.

    Understanding the EU AI Act

    The EU AI Act establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence systems based on their potential risk to safety and fundamental rights. Understanding these risk categories is essential for compliance.
