🇪🇺 EU AI Act · Reg (EU) 2024/1689 · Article 2(1)(c) extraterritorial

EU AI Act compliance for EU and US companies Free 2-minute scoping. Engineer-led.

If your AI output is used in the EU, the Act applies — even if your company is in the US. Three questions, then a list of obligations specific to your situation.

Are you a US company? You may be in scope.

Article 2(1)(c) of the Regulation applies to providers and deployers "where the output produced by the AI system is used in the Union" — regardless of where you're established. Any EU customer of your SaaS triggers this. Most US-headquartered AI startups we talk to underestimate the reach. Run the scoping below.

2-minute AI Act scoping

Three questions. We'll list the AI Act articles that apply, plus what the obligations look like.

1. What's your role under the AI Act?

Most software vendors are providers; companies using third-party AI are deployers.

2. Risk class of your AI system?

High-risk = Annex III use cases (employment, credit, education, critical infra, biometrics, justice…). When unsure, pick limited.

3. Do you build or fine-tune a general-purpose AI model?

GPAI = foundation models with broad capability (LLMs, vision-language models). Wrapping someone else's API doesn't count.
