EU AI Act Minor Provisions (EU AI Act)

The EU AI Act includes specific provisions protecting minors from AI systems that exploit vulnerabilities, manipulate behavior, or use subliminal techniques harmful to children.

What EU AI Act Requires

Key provisions of EU AI Act Minor Provisions

Prohibition on Exploiting Children's Vulnerabilities

AI systems that exploit the vulnerabilities of children due to their age, disability, or social or economic situation are classified as prohibited practices. Such systems may not be placed on the market or used within the EU.

Ban on Subliminal Manipulation of Minors

AI systems that deploy subliminal techniques beyond a person's consciousness to materially distort a child's behavior in a manner likely to cause physical or psychological harm are prohibited.

High-Risk Classification for Education AI

AI systems used in educational contexts for children are classified as high-risk, requiring conformity assessments, quality management systems, and ongoing monitoring before deployment.

Transparency for AI Interacting with Minors

AI systems that interact with children must be transparent about their AI nature. Chatbots, recommendation engines, and content generation systems must clearly disclose they are AI-powered.

Severe Penalties for Prohibited Practices

Violations involving prohibited AI practices (including exploitation of children) carry fines up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover for the most serious offenses.

Each EU AI Act requirement is addressed by a specific Phosra capability. Integrate once, and your platform is covered.

Preventing AI exploitation of minors

AI Minor Interaction Control

ai_minor_interaction

The ai_minor_interaction rule restricts AI-powered features that could exploit children's vulnerabilities, including manipulative recommendation algorithms and persuasive design patterns.

REST API — AI interaction controls
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "child_id": "ch_lucas_02",
    "rules": ["ai_minor_interaction"],
    "platforms": ["youtube", "tiktok", "roblox"]
  }'

Blocking subliminal manipulation

Addictive Design Control

addictive_design_control

The addictive_design_control rule disables engagement-maximizing features like infinite scroll, autoplay, and variable rewards that use AI-driven techniques to manipulate behavior.

curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \

    "rules": ["addictive_design_control"],
    "platforms": ["youtube", "tiktok", "instagram"]
  }'

Algorithmic feed control

Algorithm Feed Control

algo_feed_control

The algo_feed_control rule switches AI-powered recommendation feeds to chronological mode, preventing AI systems from profiling and targeting children with engagement-optimized content.

REST API — Disable AI recommendations
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "child_id": "ch_lucas_02",
    "rules": ["algo_feed_control"],
    "platforms": ["youtube", "tiktok", "instagram"]
  }'

Cross-platform AI restriction

Multi-Platform Policy Engine

A single EU AI Act compliance policy in Phosra disables AI-driven manipulation features simultaneously across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Roblox, and Discord.

curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement/batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

    "platforms": ["youtube", "tiktok",
                  "instagram", "roblox", "discord"]
  }'
