!Tips and safety
- Transparency rules under Art. 50 of the EU AI Act apply from 2 August 2026
- Finding gaps is the goal: an audit with no gaps usually means it wasn't thorough
- For bias tests, change only one detail (e.g. a name) and compare the answers
?Reflection questions (answer them when you submit)
- Which gap surprised you most, and why had you missed it?
- Which of the four themes was your bot strongest in, and which weakest?
- How would your audit change if the bot made decisions about refunds or loans?
- What will you check first the next time you build an AI tool?
✓How your work is assessed
- All 20 points are marked Yes / Partly / No with short, honest evidence
- The chatbot is placed in the correct risk tier with a clear reason
- Three real gaps are identified and linked to a theme or legal duty
- The plan gives concrete, realistic changes and a way to re-check them
You pass with at least 3 of the 4 criteria met (60%). You can improve and resubmit at any time.
