Question 1

Can’t I just use ChatGPT or Claude to write my own compliance documents for free?

Accepted Answer

You can, just as you could represent yourself in court. But that approach has limits. AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude don’t know your specific business, your AI use cases, your data flows or which risk category the EU AI Act places you in. They may produce something that looks like a compliance document, but whether it covers your circumstances is another question.

Clausely starts with a structured risk assessment to establish your obligations. Your documents are generated against that specific profile, not a generic template. They reference the relevant articles of the EU AI Act, reflect your business’s risk level and follow the structure regulators expect. If you are ever investigated, “I asked ChatGPT” is not a defence. A tailored, dated and signed document demonstrates genuine compliance awareness.

Question 2

Does the EU AI Act apply to my UK business?

Accepted Answer

The EU AI Act can apply to a UK provider placing AI systems on the EU market or putting them into service there, and to a UK provider or deployer where the system's output is used in the EU. Applicability depends on the role, system, intended use and Article 2 scope; using an AI tool or having EU customers does not by itself establish every obligation.

Question 3

What happens if we are not compliant?

Accepted Answer

Once the relevant provisions apply, regulators can investigate non-compliant businesses and issue fines of up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher for large companies. For SMEs and startups, Article 99(6) of the Act caps this at whichever figure is lower instead, which in practice usually means the percentage of turnover. There is no grace period once enforcement begins.

Question 4

How long does it take to receive my documents?

Accepted Answer

Standard packs are usually ready within the hour after your intake is complete and payment is verified. You can download them on screen and receive a delivery email. Bespoke white label work follows its agreed project timetable.

Question 5

Are these documents tailored to my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Complete the guided intake and review a private summary of your submitted scope before payment. The full pack is tailored to the business information you supply. Check that information carefully and review the documents against your actual operations before adopting them.

Question 6

Do these documents constitute legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Clausely’s documents provide a structured compliance framework based on the requirements of the EU AI Act. For complex or high-stakes scenarios we recommend reviewing documents with a qualified legal professional.

Question 7

What format are the documents delivered in?

Accepted Answer

Your full pack includes PDF and editable Word (.docx) documents, available through the secure download flow.

Question 8

What did the Digital Omnibus political agreement (May 2026) actually change?

Accepted Answer

The AI Omnibus entered into force on 27 July 2026. It extended the main Annex III high-risk timetable to 2 December 2027 and Annex I product-related high-risk rules to 2 August 2028, and simplified some requirements, including AI literacy. Article 4 still concerns measures supporting staff AI literacy; it does not require a particular certificate or a prescribed policy document. The duties and documents relevant to a business depend on its role and use case.

Question 9

Has the high-risk AI deadline really moved to December 2027? What still applies now?

Accepted Answer

The AI Act applies in stages. Prohibited practices and AI literacy provisions already apply, and Article 50 transparency rules apply to the systems and content within their scope, subject to transitional provisions. Following the AI Omnibus, the main Annex III high-risk rules apply from 2 December 2027 and Annex I product-related high-risk rules from 2 August 2028. UK GDPR and existing workplace duties have their own requirements and timelines.

Question 10

Does the Digital Omnibus mean we can wait until 2027 to act?

Accepted Answer

Check which provisions apply to your system and role now. Prohibited uses, relevant transparency rules, staff AI literacy measures and UK data protection duties may already require action. The Annex III high-risk transition does not suspend other applicable law, but it also does not make every future high-risk duty enforceable today. Policies and records should support the measures you actually implement.

Question 11

What actually counts as a “high-risk” AI system under Annex III?

Accepted Answer

Annex III covers specified uses in areas such as recruitment, education, essential services, biometrics and law enforcement. Classification depends on the intended purpose and Article 6 criteria, including relevant exceptions. Healthcare systems may instead fall within Annex I product rules. Sector alone, or the mere use of AI, does not establish high-risk status.

Question 12

Does the EU AI Act still apply to UK businesses post-Brexit?

Accepted Answer

The EU AI Act can apply to a UK provider placing AI systems on the EU market or putting them into service there, and to a UK provider or deployer where the system's output is used in the EU. Applicability depends on the role, system, intended use and Article 2 scope; using an AI tool or having EU customers does not by itself establish every obligation.

Question 13

What happens if our business is not compliant?

Accepted Answer

The applicable duties, enforcement authority and penalties depend on the provision, operator role, jurisdiction and application date. The AI Act provides different maximum fines for different breaches and specific limits for SMEs. A documentation pack does not guarantee compliance or prevent enforcement. Obtain professional advice for a contested or high-stakes situation.
