•Manipulative AI designed to exploit vulnerabilities

High Risk (Strict Requirements)

•AI in healthcare diagnostics

•AI in hiring and recruitment

•AI in credit scoring and financial decisions

•AI in education assessment

Limited Risk (Transparency Obligations)

•Chatbots (must disclose AI nature)

•Deepfake generation (must label as AI-generated)

Minimal Risk (No Restrictions)

•Spam filters, AI-powered games, recommendation engines
