- Rule out prohibited practices (since 2 Feb 2025), e.g. emotion recognition at work, social scoring, manipulative techniques. Art. 5 AI Act
- Check high-risk: Annex III (applicable from 2 Dec 2027) or safety component of an Annex I product (from 2 Aug 2028); exceptions under Art. 6(3). Art. 6 AI Act, Annex III AI Act

Notes on use
- Own responsibility: The atlas is a collection of general ideas and examples – not instructions, not a recommendation for your organisation and not advice. Selecting, assessing, implementing and operating a use case is solely your responsibility. Anyone using the content does so at their own risk.
- Created with AI: The use cases were drafted with AI support based on a concept playbook, edited by KI-Beratung.st and each grounded in a publicly available source (as of 12 October 2026). They are examples – not reference projects and not implemented solutions.
- No advice: The content is general information for businesses. It does not replace legal, tax or other advice in an individual case. Whether and how a use case is permissible and useful in your organisation depends on your specific circumstances and must be checked case by case.
- References only: Every grounding fact and every point to check refers to a publicly available source or legal provision. We reproduce what is referred to – only the wording of the source is authoritative.
- Points to check: Hints such as “check GDPR” or “possible high-risk system” show what should be checked. They are not a legal classification and are not exhaustive.
- Sources: The grounding fact reflects what the linked source contained on the stated check date. It does not state that the use case is permissible or achieves any particular result. Laws and sources may change after the check date.
- Warranty and liability: The content is provided free of charge and without warranty as to completeness, accuracy and currency. Liability for slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law; this does not apply to personal injury.
- Audience: The atlas is intended for businesses. To have your specific case assessed, please contact us.
