Limitations

Risk classification requires legal review
Classification is guidance only — official EU AI Act risk categorisation requires legal analysis
What to do instead: Use the classification output as a starting point for legal review — include the returned risk factors in your compliance documentation
Implementing rules can change interpretation
Based on AI Act text as of latest published version — implementing regulations may change interpretation
What to do instead: Monitor the EU AI Office website for delegated acts and compare against the version_date field in the response
