plain english<br>What the EU AI Act actually says to small businesses

The European Union passed the world's first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence. It splits AI uses into four risk tiers: prohibited, high risk, limited risk, and minimal risk. Most small businesses sit in the limited risk tier, which means one practical thing: you must be transparent about your use of AI.

Article 50 lists the four cases where you must show a clear, timely, accessible disclosure:

Your site or app has a chatbot or voice agent.

You publish AI-generated text, images, audio, or video.

You use deepfakes.

You use emotion recognition or biometric categorisation.

The deadline is August 2, 2026 . The fine is up to 15 million euros or 3 percent of global annual turnover , whichever is greater.

The law applies to you even if you are not based in the EU, as long as your AI system reaches people inside the EU. The same way GDPR works.

the four tiers<br>Where does your AI sit?

The Act sorts every AI use into one of four tiers. Most small businesses are in limited risk, which is the lightest set of obligations.

Prohibited

This use is prohibited under Article 5 of the EU AI Act.

You cannot deploy this system in the EU. Find another way to achieve the goal, or stop using the system.

Deadline: Already in force (since February 2, 2025).

High risk

High risk. You face the full obligations of Articles 6 to 27.

You need a risk management system, data governance, technical documentation, human oversight, accuracy and security checks, plus an EU declaration of conformity.

Deadline: Compliance required by August 2, 2026 (extension to December 2, 2027 under the Digital Omnibus is still being discussed).

Limited risk (transparency)

Limited risk. Transparency obligations apply under Article 50.

You must clearly disclose that users are interacting with AI or that content was AI-generated. Disclosure must be timely, visible, and accessible.

Deadline: Enforceable from August 2, 2026.

Minimal risk

Minimal risk. No specific obligation under the AI Act.

Good news. Most everyday business AI (spam filters, recommender systems behind the scenes, internal productivity tools) falls here.

Deadline: No deadline, but record the system in your AI Inventory for governance hygiene.
