AI Act
How the EU AI Act applies to organizations using Intric — what Intric does, what you need to do, and where to start.
The EU AI Act is a regulation that places requirements on organizations using AI in a professional context. It is already partially in force, with full enforcement expected from 2026. The goal is not to limit AI adoption. It is to ensure that AI is used responsibly, especially in areas that affect people’s rights and welfare.
What Intric does and what you need to do
Section titled “What Intric does and what you need to do”As the platform provider, Intric is responsible for the underlying AI system: technical documentation, security certifications, data processing agreements, and this compliance guidance.
Your responsibility as a deployer is to assess how your organization uses the platform: what each assistant you build is used for and whether that use is high-risk.
AI literacy is a baseline obligation under the AI Act for all organizations using AI — regardless of risk class. This means ensuring that everyone who uses Intric has enough knowledge to use it safely and critically evaluate the outputs it produces. We recommend meeting this requirement by having all staff complete the four learning modules available in Intric:
Two questions to answer per assistant
Section titled “Two questions to answer per assistant”Every assistant you build in Intric requires two assessments:
- Risk class: Is this assistant high-risk based on what it is used for?
- Role: Do you share the assistant outside your own organization?
These two answers determine which obligations apply to you. Each assistant must be assessed separately.
The three scenarios
Section titled “The three scenarios”| Scenario | When it applies | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| A — Deployer + Not high-risk | Your assistant is used internally for low-risk tasks | Minimal obligations — primarily AI literacy |
| B — Deployer + High-risk | Your assistant operates in a high-risk area (e.g. welfare, recruitment, education) | Significant obligations: human oversight, logging, notification, registration |
| C — Downstream provider + High-risk | You share a high-risk assistant with another organization | Provider-level obligations on top of Scenario B |
