How do you operationalize the EU AI Act, especially its most serious prohibitions, across your AI systems? For teams deploying GenAI, aligning with Article 5’s “prohibited risk” provisions presents a unique challenge: many of the most serious violations, like manipulative behavior, biometric surveillance, or social scoring, aren’t easily caught by traditional security tools.
CalypsoAI’s Inference Defend solution now has a dedicated EU AI Act Scanner Package, which offers a tangible starting point. If you’ve done nothing yet to prepare, this is the first step towards compliance. It delivers baseline coverage for the most severe risks, which helps enterprises detect and prevent violations specific to Article 5’s “prohibited risk” category.
How CalypsoAI’s Scanner Package Automates AI Regulatory Compliance Under the EU AI Act
The EU AI Act Scanner Package is designed to identify and block AI-generated outputs that fall into the “prohibited” category of the Act—use cases that are banned outright and subject to fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover.
This package focuses exclusively on the four prohibited clusters outlined in Article 5, and does not cover “high-risk” or “limited-risk” categories. That’s by design. The EU AI Act Scanner Package provides a frontline safety net to ensure your GenAI systems don’t trigger the most damaging legal and reputational outcomes.
Each scanner was developed using a hybrid methodology combining AutoPrompt generation with expert manual review, evaluated against a custom dataset of 2,698 examples. This dataset includes:
- Labeled positive cases from real-world and synthetic enterprise data
- Edge-case examples to improve generalization
- Balanced distribution to ensure reliable performance at runtime
The result is a high-accuracy, production-ready detection layer that maps directly to the EU AI Act’s “prohibited risk” enforcement thresholds.
Why Real-Time AI Compliance Monitoring Is Essential for EU AI Act Readiness
What Problem Does the EU AI Act Scanner Package Solve?
Few organizations have the internal resources to map outputs to legal risk under the EU AI Act, let alone do so at runtime. Many companies are unaware that AI-generated outputs can be non-compliant even when using off-the-shelf models.
Without automated inference-layer detection, organizations risk:
- Unknowingly deploying prohibited use cases
- Falling short of AI regulatory compliance audits
- Suffering brand damage and multi-million euro penalties
What’s the Outcome?
The EU AI Act Scanner Package brings clarity and automation to an otherwise ambiguous and labor-intensive compliance challenge. Specifically, it enables:
- Real-time enforcement of prohibited behaviors defined under Article 5 of the EU AI Act
- Enterprise-wide consistency, regardless of model type or deployment architecture
- Audit-ready documentation via structured logging of flagged incidents
By integrating this package, security and compliance teams gain the ability to enforce compliance proactively, before regulators or end users uncover violations.
GenAI Use Cases at Risk: How to Ensure AI Regulatory Compliance
The scanners in this package are optimized to analyze text generated by GenAI applications in real-time, making them a critical control layer. Example applications include:
AI Copilots and Chatbots
Risk: Manipulating users with emotionally suggestive or coercive language
Coverage: Manipulation, Surveillance
Decision-Support Tools (e.g., HR, Finance)
Risk: Generating social scoring outputs that impact users’ access to services or roles
Coverage: Social Scoring
GenAI-Powered Image and Facial Recognition Models
Risk: Collecting or referencing biometric data scraped from public spaces
Coverage: Biometric Data Harvesting
Emotion-Detecting Tutors or Coaches
Risk: Inferring emotional states of users in educational or workplace settings
Coverage: Surveillance
Autonomous AI Agents
Risk: Independently generating or chaining risky prompts in sensitive environments
Coverage: All four scanners, depending on output
Built for What the EU AI Act Demands
AI innovation doesn’t have to come at the cost of compliance. With high-performance classifiers trained on domain-specific data, CalypsoAI’s EU AI Act Scanner Package provides a scalable, high-accuracy safety net that's specifically designed to block the most damaging AI behaviors before they escalate into violations.
As the EU AI Act sets a global standard for AI governance, CalypsoAI is proud to offer the first scanner suite aligned to its most critical requirements.
