The premise
AI can scan your product copy and feature inventory for emotion-recognition claims that may be prohibited in workplaces or schools, but a lawyer must confirm jurisdictional applicability.
What AI does well here
- Inventory product features that infer emotional state from face, voice, or text.
- Map each feature to specific EU AI Act prohibited categories.
What AI cannot do
- Determine whether a specific deployment is exempt under medical or safety carve-outs.
- Defend you in a regulatory enforcement action.
