Compliance / AI Act

Every AI system you use, classified and accounted for.

The AI Act sets duties by risk and by role. RegNext keeps an inventory of the AI systems your firm uses, tests each one against the regulation’s own criteria — a person confirms the result — and lists the duties that follow, each with its article.

What it asks

What the AI Act asks of you — and where RegNext takes it on.

The AI Act sorts AI by risk and gives each role its own duties. If you use AI built by others, you are a deployer — until something you do makes you its provider.

01

Prohibited practices

Some uses of AI are banned outright — social scoring, for example, or manipulative techniques that cause harm.

Article 5
In RegNext

Each system is tested against the eight prohibited practices, one question each, with the article’s text beside it.

02

High-risk systems

Systems used in the areas the regulation lists — creditworthiness assessment or recruitment, for instance — are high-risk and carry the heaviest duties.

Article 6, Annex III
In RegNext

The product-safety route, the eight listed areas — credit scoring and insurance pricing flagged — and the exemption, which never applies when a system profiles people.

03

Duties as a deployer

If you use a high-risk system: use it as instructed, assign human oversight, monitor it, keep its logs and inform the people concerned.

Article 26
In RegNext

A few questions about how you use each system decide which duties apply — oversight, monitoring, logs, informing people, a fundamental-rights impact assessment where required — each in the law’s words.

04

Becoming a provider

Putting your name on a high-risk system, modifying it substantially or changing its purpose can make you its provider — with the provider’s duties.

Article 25
In RegNext

The three ways a deployer becomes a provider, tested for each system, with a warning when one is met.

Inventory

Know which AI your firm uses — and who owns it.

Record each AI system with its purpose, its supplier and its business owner, and whether you use it for your firm or for a client. Its status follows it from draft to retirement.

An owner for eachSomeone in the business answers for it.
For you or a clientSystems used for clients kept apart.
StatusDraft, assessed, in use or retired.
LinkedTo the supplier behind it, and to your risks, controls and incidents.

Classification

A risk class from the regulation’s own tests.

Answer yes, no or don’t know to each test — the prohibited practices, the product-safety route, the high-risk areas and the exemption. RegNext proposes the class and a person confirms it. A missing answer leaves the system undetermined rather than guessed.

Four outcomesProhibited, high-risk, not high-risk or undetermined.

Duties

The duties that follow, system by system.

A few questions about how you use a system decide which deployer duties apply — human oversight, monitoring, keeping logs, informing staff and the people affected, an impact assessment where required. Each duty is shown in the law’s words. And if something you do would make you the provider, RegNext tells you.

Applies or notEach duty marked applies, does not apply or depends.

Questions

Questions about the AI Act.

Does AI decide the risk class?

No. Fixed tests taken from the regulation propose the class, a person confirms it, and a missing answer leaves the system undetermined.

We only use AI built by others. Does the AI Act concern us?

Yes, as a deployer. Some duties concern every firm that uses AI, such as AI literacy; more apply when a system is high-risk. RegNext lists the ones that apply to each system.

Does RegNext cover the duties of providers?

It tells you when what you do would make you a provider. The provider’s own duties — and those for general-purpose AI models — are not covered yet.

Is the fundamental-rights impact assessment included?

RegNext tells you when one is required and that the authority must be notified. The assessment itself is written outside RegNext for now.
