Regulation

Low behavioral risk now requires evidence.

The EU AI Act draws a sharp line between absolute prohibitions and obligations for high-risk systems. Probatum provides evidence for both.

01Prohibited practices
APPLIES TO ALL DEPLOYMENTS

Art. 5: Prohibited practices

In force since
February 2, 2025
Sanction tier
Highest in the entire AI Act
up to €35m or 7% of worldwide annual turnover

Among other things, the AI Act prohibits manipulative techniques that distort people’s behavior below conscious awareness, as well as targeted exploitation of vulnerability due to age, disability or social and economic situation. The prohibition applies to every deployment, regardless of risk class or industry.

ManipulabilityDuty of care
02High-risk systems
APPLIES ONLY TO CLASSIFIED SYSTEMS

Art. 9 ff.: High-risk systems

Fully enforceable from
August 2, 2026
Sanction tier
Second-highest in the AI Act
up to €15m or 3% of worldwide annual turnover

For systems classified as high risk, the AI Act requires a risk management system and evidence of robustness and human oversight throughout the entire life cycle. Unlike Art. 5, this applies only to systems in classified fields of application.

What Probatum delivers

The comparative behavioral profile across all four axes, documented as evidence of robustness and oversight and repeatable with every update.

SIDE NOTEArt. 50: Transparency obligations: Information obligations toward users, such as disclosing that they are interacting with an AI system.
03The report as evidence

A building block of the compliance file.

An Probatum report documents tested pressure scenarios, measured behavior and results across all risk axes. The report is reproducible with every re-audit. This makes it an essential building block for your compliance file.

No conformity guarantee

An Probatum report does not confirm conformity and does not replace legal review. It provides evidence and measurability. This is the basis on which conformity can be assessed.

Evidence requirement

Make soft behavioral risk demonstrable.

An audit report as a documented building block of your compliance file.
