This simple questionnaire helps you check what processes and level of control you may need for each AI use.
Control includes:
- who can make decisions
- what approvals you need
- how AI use is checked and managed.
AI screening questions
Check what level of control you need for artificial intelligence before investing time or money
How it works
The questionnaire asks 7 questions about how you plan to use AI. Each question highlights examples where extra attention or control may be needed to manage risk.
Answer each question based on your current understanding. There are no scores or automatic outcomes.
If you answer yes to any question, that AI use or system may need stricter controls.
For example, an AI system that automatically handles customer complaints and refunds. A chatbot that handles restaurant bookings is generally lower risk and may need less oversight.
For more examples of high-risk uses, check Article 6 and Annex III of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
When to screen
Use the questionnaire before you develop a business case, invest in an AI solution or commit any resources.
This is a quick first step before doing a full risk assessment – not a replacement for one.
Why this matters
Doing this check early helps you spot potential issues while they are still easy to address. Using the same screening questions for each AI use helps you focus effort where it matters most.
This supports consistent decision-making and makes it easier to justify your approach.
