The AI Compliance Readiness Checker maps your planned AI deployment against the three regimes most teams worry about — the EU AI Act, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA — and returns plain-English action items for the gaps it finds. It will not replace a lawyer, but it gives product and engineering teams a fast, structured starting point so the right questions reach legal before launch rather than after.
How it works
You describe four things: what your AI system does, the data types it processes, the jurisdiction you serve, and the deployment context (internal tool, customer-facing, or high-impact decisioning). The tool applies the same logic a compliance reviewer would. For the EU AI Act it estimates your risk tier — minimal, limited, high, or prohibited — and surfaces the obligations that attach to that tier, such as transparency notices for chatbots or conformity assessment and human oversight for high-risk uses. For GDPR it checks whether you touch personal data and flags lawful basis, transparency, DPIA, and data-subject-rights duties. For CCPA it checks whether you serve California residents and flags disclosure, opt-out, and automated-decision rights.
Each matched rule produces a concrete action item — “publish a clear notice that users are interacting with AI,” “run and document a Data Protection Impact Assessment,” “add a Do Not Sell or Share link” — rather than a citation you then have to decode.
Tips and notes
Run this checker early, before architecture is locked. The most expensive compliance failures are structural: collecting biometric data you cannot lawfully process, or building an automated hiring filter without the oversight and logging the EU AI Act demands of high-risk systems. Re-run it whenever you add a data type, enter a new market, or move a model from an internal experiment to a customer-facing feature, because any of those can change your risk tier. Treat the output as a briefing for your legal counsel, not a substitute for them — the regimes evolve, enforcement guidance shifts, and only a qualified adviser can confirm your specific duties.
