EU AI Act Compliance by Industry
The EU AI Act applies differently depending on what your AI system does and who it affects. These guides translate the regulation's Annex III categories into concrete obligations for specific industries — so you know exactly what applies to your product.
HR Technology
CV screening, interview assessment, performance evaluation, and employee monitoring tools are explicitly listed as high-risk AI.
Fintech & Credit
AI used for creditworthiness assessment, insurance risk scoring, and access to essential financial services is high-risk under the Act.
Healthcare AI
Healthcare AI splits across two regimes: medical device AI (Annex I, 2027 deadline) and administrative health AI affecting patient access (Annex III).
Edtech
AI systems that determine access to education, assess learners, or monitor student behaviour are explicitly high-risk under Annex III.
Legal Technology
AI deployed in courts and tribunals to assist judicial decisions is explicitly high-risk. Legal chatbots and AI-generated content face Article 50 transparency obligations.
Insurance AI
Insurance underwriting, claims decisioning, and risk scoring AI falls under Annex III Category 5 — the same category as credit scoring.
PropTech & Real Estate
Tenant screening, rental application scoring, and mortgage-linked property valuation AI fall under Annex III Category 5. Housing is a fundamental right — expect close scrutiny.
Customer Service AI
Customer service chatbots are typically not high-risk, but every chatbot that interacts with users must disclose its AI nature before the conversation starts under Article 50(1).
