📄 Description
Summary
Open WebUI is the interface between AI models and users. For organizations deploying it within EU jurisdiction, the AI Act's deployer obligations apply regardless of Open WebUI's open-source exemption under Article 25(4).
This guide maps the most relevant obligations to Open WebUI's existing features:
Article 50 (User Disclosure): the primary obligation for any chat interface deployment. Open WebUI's model labels partially satisfy this; the guide covers what else deployers may need.
Article 12 (Record-Keeping): Open WebUI's chat history provides a baseline. The guide specifies what retention policies deployers should verify.
Article 13 (Transparency): what deployers should document about available models, RAG sources, and tools.
Article 26 (High-Risk Use): when connecting Open WebUI to domain-specific knowledge bases can elevate deployers to provider-equivalent status.
Placed in docs/ alongside existing project documentation.
Test plan
Verify markdown renders correctly on GitHub
Confirm Article references match the EU AI Act as published in the Official Journal (Regulation 2024/1689)
Review that guidance aligns with Open WebUI's current feature set (model labels, chat history, RAG, tools)
🔄 This issue represents a GitHub Pull Request. It cannot be merged through Gitea due to API limitations.
