AI Transparency — EU AI Act
Last updated: 2026-06-20
Kidstoride is classified as a Minimal Risk system under Regulation EU 2024/1689 (EU AI Act). This document sets out our voluntary self-assessment.
System identification
Name: Kidstoride — shared-ride platform for families
AI model provider: Mistral AI S.A.S. (France, EU). Models: mistral-small-latest and mistral-large-latest
Kidstoride role: deployer (Art. 3(4) EU AI Act) — we are not providers of the underlying model
Risk classification
Classification: Minimal Risk. Kidstoride systems do not fall under any category in Annex III of Regulation EU 2024/1689.
The AI features (DriverMatchBadge, ChildSafetyBriefingModal and others) qualify as Limited Risk (Art. 50) — AI disclosure is implemented in the user interface.
- Biometrics (Annex III, point 1): Not applicable
- Critical infrastructure (point 2): Not applicable
- Education — student assessment (point 3): Not applicable
- Employment and worker management (point 4): Not applicable — drivers are volunteer parents with no employment relationship
- Essential services — credit, insurance (point 5): Not applicable
- Law enforcement (point 6): Not applicable
- Migration and asylum (point 7): Not applicable
- Administration of justice (point 8): Not applicable
Art. 50 compliance — Transparency to users
Features that generate LLM-produced text visible to the user (DriverMatchBadge — compatibility explanation, ChildSafetyBriefingModal — trip key points) display the notice 'Generated with artificial intelligence' at first interaction, in accordance with Art. 50(1).
The geographic matching system (SmartMatchCron) is not an AI system under Art. 3(1) — it is a PostGIS geospatial filter and does not require disclosure.
Art. 4 compliance — AI Literacy training
The Kidstoride technical team has received training on the deployed AI systems, in accordance with Art. 4 of the EU AI Act. The AI Literacy policy is documented internally and reviewed annually.
Compliance deadline: 2 August 2026.
AI provider and data protection
Mistral AI S.A.S. is a French company (EU). Processing takes place in the EU. No international transfers of minors' data occur through the AI system.
Data sent to Mistral does not include direct identifiers of minors — only anonymous booking behaviour context.
Note on platforms with paid drivers
Mobility platforms that use AI to assign tasks to paid drivers may qualify as High Risk under Annex III, point 4(b), which entails a mandatory conformity assessment and registration in the EU AI Office database before deployment. Kidstoride operates with volunteer parents with no employment relationship, so that category does not apply.
Self-assessment and updates
This document is a voluntary self-assessment. No official EU seal exists for Minimal Risk systems. The publication date of this page is the date of assessment.
Next review: June 2027, or earlier if new AI features are added or applicable regulations change.
