Muhtasari
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 added two prohibitions for certain nonconsensual intimate material and child sexual abuse material, which apply from December 2, 2026 rather than the original February 2025 date.
Dive ya kina
Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 lists prohibited AI practices. The original points (a) through (h), applicable since February 2, 2025, address specified harmful manipulation or deception; exploitation of defined vulnerabilities; social scoring that leads to harmful treatment; crime-risk assessments based solely on profiling or personality traits; untargeted facial-image scraping for recognition databases; emotion inference at work or in education except for medical or safety purposes; biometric categorisation to infer listed sensitive traits; and most real-time remote biometric identification by law enforcement in public spaces. Each rule has its own elements and exceptions. Article 5 does not ban every tool used in these areas. Its specific thresholds matter: points (a), (d), and (h), for example, define harm conditions, an evidential exception, and authorization safeguards. Other EU or national laws may still apply. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, published in July 2026 and in force, inserted points (ba) and (bb). They address systems generating or manipulating realistic intimate or sexually explicit material of an identifiable person without explicit consent, and certain child sexual abuse material. The amendment also specifies provider and deployer conditions and safeguards; it does not make every general-purpose image or audio model prohibited. These two points and related paragraphs 1a and 1b apply from December 2, 2026, so they are enacted but not yet applicable on September 26, 2026. For a real assessment, map the system, actor, intended purpose, output, affected person, relevant Article 5 point, thresholds, and exceptions. Article 5 is not the Act’s high-risk classification test, and it is not an exhaustive list of every unlawful AI use. Check the current consolidated text and other applicable law.

The Future of EU AI Act Article 5: Prohibited AI Practices
Article 5 can change through amendments, delegated acts, and court or authority interpretation. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 already adds two new prohibited practices, with application beginning December 2, 2026. Teams should update controls before that date and review the current official text for further amendments. Interpret every rule by its full elements and exceptions rather than relying on a short list or general description of an AI technique. Add a pre-release check ahead of December 2, 2026 for the new Article 5 points, then monitor official amendments and guidance.

A public body separates the ban on certain emotion inference at work or in education from other permitted uses and the medical or safety exception.
A face-search developer checks whether images are being scraped without targeting from internet or CCTV sources to create or expand a facial-recognition database.
A model provider reviews whether safeguards can prevent reasonably foreseeable and reproducible generation of newly prohibited material before placing a system on the market.
