What Complipath does

  • Risk classification Answers go through rules in code, never a language model, so the same answers always give the same result. Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms.
  • AI inventory Every AI system you build or use, with its owner and risk class
  • AI literacy (Article 4) Records who was trained on what and when, against the Article 4 duty to support AI literacy, which applies whatever your risk level
  • Obligations per system Confirming a classification creates the obligations that follow from it, each with an owner, a status and a place for evidence

Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms.

Questions

Do these pages replace a classification of our systems?

No. Each one says where a use usually sits and what would move it, with the article behind each line. Your own systems are classified one by one by intended purpose. The free check does that for one of them.

Why is recruitment not here as its own page?

It has a guide: is HR software high-risk under the EU AI Act? covers point 4 of Annex III use by use. Credit scoring and life and health insurance pricing, points 5(b) and (c) of Annex III, have their own pages below, and the sector view is is fintech AI high-risk under the EU AI Act?
