Description
Open WebUI is MIT-licensed and exempt from EU AI Act obligations under Article 25(4). But organizations deploying it as their AI interface are deployers under Article 3, and Article 50 (user disclosure) applies to every deployment where users interact with AI.
This guide maps deployer obligations to Open WebUI's architecture.
