Introduction

The European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, establishes a legal framework for the development, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence systems within the European Union.

Its objective is to ensure that AI systems are developed and used in a manner that respects fundamental rights, safety, transparency, and accountability while supporting innovation.

ClicShopping AI has been designed as an AI-assisted e-commerce platform that integrates external or locally hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) to assist merchants with content generation and administrative tasks. More as ClicShopping AI, this content is for all tools use the AI, below some recommandations to follow.

AI-Assisted Features

ClicShopping AI provides AI-assisted tools that support, but do not replace, human decision-making.

Typical use cases include:

• Product description generation

• SEO content generation

• FAQ generation

• Product content enhancement

• Translation assistance

• Product creation assistance

• Administrative report generation

• Marketing content generation

These features are initiated voluntarily by the user and operate as productivity tools.

Human Oversight

One of the principles promoted by the AI Act is appropriate human oversight.

ClicShopping AI follows this principle by generating content intended for human review before publication or operational use.

Users remain responsible for validating generated content, correcting inaccuracies, and deciding whether the generated output should be published or modified.

ClicShopping AI does not make autonomous commercial or legal decisions on behalf of the user.

Transparency

AI-assisted functionality is clearly identified within the application.

Users intentionally invoke AI features through dedicated actions or interfaces.

Generated content is presented as AI-generated assistance and should not be considered authoritative without verification.

AI Providers

ClicShopping AI does not develop or train artificial intelligence models.

Instead, it connects to AI providers selected by the system administrator.

Supported providers include, without limitation:

• OpenAI

• Anthropic

• Google Gemini

• Mistral AI

• Ollama (local deployment)

The administrator remains responsible for selecting the provider that best satisfies organizational, legal, privacy, and security requirements.

Data Processing

To perform a requested AI operation, ClicShopping AI transmits only the information required by that operation.

Depending on the selected feature, transmitted information may include:

• Product titles

• Product descriptions

• Product specifications

• Keywords

• Category names

• User prompts

• Context required for content generation

The exact information transmitted depends on the selected feature and configured AI provider.

Sensitive information should only be processed where appropriate safeguards have been implemented.

High-Risk AI Systems

The AI Act defines a category of High-Risk AI Systems for applications such as:

• Critical infrastructure

• Employment and recruitment

• Education

• Creditworthiness assessment

• Law enforcement

• Migration management

• Judicial decision support

• Access to essential public and private services

The intended purpose of ClicShopping AI does not fall within these categories.

ClicShopping AI is designed as an AI-assisted content generation platform intended to improve productivity within an e-commerce environment.

If the software is integrated into workflows that qualify as high-risk under applicable legislation, additional legal obligations may apply to the deployer or integrator.

Accuracy and Limitations

Like all generative AI systems, responses may contain:

• factual inaccuracies;

• incomplete information;

• outdated content;

• unsupported statements;

• hallucinations.

Generated content should always be reviewed before publication or business use.

ClicShopping AI does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, originality, or legal compliance of AI-generated content.

Privacy and Data Protection

When external AI providers are used, submitted information is processed according to the policies of the selected provider.

Administrators should ensure that the chosen provider complies with applicable data protection requirements, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where applicable.

Local AI deployments, such as Ollama, may be used when organizations require that data remain within their own infrastructure.

Open Source Architecture

ClicShopping AI is an open source software project.

The platform provides a modular architecture allowing administrators to choose their preferred AI provider without modifying the application's core architecture.

The software acts as an integration layer between business workflows and AI services and does not itself constitute a foundation model or a general-purpose AI model.
