About this workshop
The EU AI Act is already shaping how startups build and ship AI products, and getting your classification right early can save you months of rework. Understanding your role and risk class shapes your obligations, and how you pitch your product to investors, customers and other key stakeholders. This hands-on workshop is run by the appliedAI Institute for Europe with TUM Venture Labs.
We start with an introduction to the AI Act and its risk classification, then get straight into the work. In small groups, each startup classifies its own use case with our team and tests our new risk classification toolset live. You will walk away with a first risk classification for one of your own use cases and a practical sense of what to do next. Please bring a real use case and your AI Act questions.
