Answer a few questions about where your AI system operates, what it does, and the data it touches, and get a likely yes or no on whether a DPIA, a PIA, or an ADMT risk assessment is triggered, which framework or frameworks trigger it, and a scope outline to build from.
This is a starting point to focus a privacy conversation for a DPO, privacy counsel, or compliance leader. It is not legal advice and not a determination that any assessment is or is not legally required. Your counsel and DPO own that conclusion.
This checker maps your answers to the frameworks that commonly require a privacy assessment for an AI system and returns a likely-required read, the triggering frameworks, and a scope outline. It is a starting point, not legal advice, and not a legal determination that a DPIA, PIA, or assessment is or is not required in your specific case. Statutory framing is kept general. Whether an assessment is legally required, and whether it is sufficient, is a conclusion for your data protection officer and counsel. No data leaves the browser.

Based on the reach you selected and what the system does. Each line is a heuristic, not a legal determination.
The structure a DPIA or privacy impact assessment for an AI system should cover, to adapt with your DPO and counsel.
A checker is a self-assessment of the threshold question. The value is a completed, defensible assessment: a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction trigger analysis, a DPIA or PIA adapted to your system, a risk register, and a residual-risk statement your privacy office can finalize. That is the Privacy / DPIA for AI Systems assessment.

Last reviewed: 2026-07-05 · Initial release. The trigger logic, framework mapping, and scope outline are a structured practitioner heuristic for the DPIA threshold question, re-checked quarterly. Accuracy is the point, and it is not a substitute for advice from counsel.
A checker reads the threshold question. When you want a completed, defensible assessment, a principal runs a fixed-scope DPIA for your system and hands you a trigger analysis, a risk register, and a residual-risk statement your privacy office can finalize.
This checker is a structured self-assessment to focus a privacy conversation for a DPO, privacy counsel, or compliance leader. It maps your answers to the frameworks that commonly require a DPIA, a PIA, or an ADMT risk assessment for an AI system. It does not access your systems, and it does not provide legal advice or determine that any assessment is or is not legally required in your case. Statutory framing is deliberately general.
