AI Act Classifies AI According to Risk

The AI Act classifies AI based on risk levels, with unacceptable risks like social scoring and manipulative AI being prohibited. The majority of obligations in the Act fall on providers and developers of high-risk AI systems, ensuring strict regulations for their deployment. Users, individuals using AI professionally, have obligations, albeit less than providers and developers, especially regarding awareness of interacting with AI. A section in the Act focuses on general-purpose AI (GPAI) and outlines specific requirements for providers handling GPAI models.
