Questionnaire

Answer yes / no / not sure. The result appears immediately, no sign-up.

  1. Do your employees use artificial intelligence tools at work, for example ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude or Gemini?

    This also includes AI features built into everyday software (office suites, CRM, translation or transcription tools). A company that uses an AI system in its business is a “deployer” under the AI Act.

  2. Do you develop your own AI system or AI features in products you offer to others?

    Whoever develops an AI system and places it on the market under their own name is a “provider” under the AI Act and has wider obligations than a company that only uses AI.

  3. Do you use or develop AI, for example, to rate people based on their behaviour (social scoring), to recognise employees’ emotions at the workplace, to manipulate people by exploiting their vulnerabilities, or to build databases of facial images scraped from the internet?

    These are examples of prohibited practices under Article 5 of the AI Act, which has applied since 2 February 2025. The full list and exceptions are in the text of the Regulation. A typical company using AI for writing or analysis should answer “no”.

  4. Do you use AI when making decisions about people – for example in recruitment and employee evaluation, creditworthiness assessment, education and student assessment, or access to essential services?

    These areas are classed as high-risk under Annex III of the AI Act. Under the Digital Omnibus regulation, the obligations for them apply from 2 December 2027. This is an indicative question – the classification of a specific system needs to be assessed.

  5. Do your customers or the public interact with a chatbot or another AI system (on your website, by email, by phone)?

    Under Article 50 of the AI Act, people must know they are interacting with AI unless this is obvious. The transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026.

  6. Do you publish content created or altered with AI – text, images, video or audio, especially content that looks realistic?

    The transparency obligations under Article 50 of the AI Act also include labelling AI-generated content. They apply from 2 August 2026; providers of generative AI systems placed on the market before that date must comply with output marking by 2 December 2026.

Who the AI Act applies to

The AI Act applies both to providers of AI systems and to “deployers” – companies that use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot or Claude in their work. Obligations depend on the risk of the use case.

Article 4 (AI literacy) and the ban on certain practices under Article 5 apply from 2 February 2025. The Digital Omnibus, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, reworded Article 4 from 27 July 2026 but did not remove the obligation – companies take measures to support the development of AI literacy of their people, without having to guarantee a specific level for each individual.

Transparency obligations (for example for chatbots and AI-generated content) apply from 2 August 2026. Obligations for high-risk systems were postponed by the Digital Omnibus – for Annex III areas (such as recruitment) to 2 December 2027 and for Annex I systems to 2 August 2028.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to train employees who use ChatGPT?

Yes, the AI Act requires supporting the AI literacy of people who work with AI systems. The form is not prescribed; in practice a short training, internal rules and a training record help.

Who supervises the AI Act in Czechia?

The government designated the Czech Telecommunication Office (ČTÚ) as the supervisory authority. According to available information, the Czech implementing act on artificial intelligence had not yet been adopted as of 30 October 2026.

What are the penalties?

Up to EUR 35 million or 7% of turnover for prohibited practices, and up to EUR 15 million or 3% for other obligations; for SMEs the lower amount applies.

Is the self-check result binding?

No, it is an orientation tool, not legal advice. For high-risk use cases we recommend consulting a lawyer.
