How we use artificial intelligence
We build AI-powered products and use AI daily in our work. This page explains what tools we use, how we integrate AI into client deliverables, and our stance on the EU AI Act.

Tools we use in our daily work
We actively use AI assistants and tools to write better code, think through problems faster, and produce higher-quality work for our clients. We don't hide this — it's part of how we operate.
Every AI-generated output — code, text, or analysis — is reviewed by a human before it goes anywhere near a client or a production environment. We don't ship what we don't understand.
AI in the products we build
When we build AI-powered systems for clients, we act as a technical development partner. The client owns the product and is responsible for how it's deployed and used. Our job is to build it well.
We build to specification. Compliance with applicable regulations — including EU AI Act, GDPR, and sector-specific requirements — is the responsibility of the product owner. We are happy to advise and to build systems that make compliance easier, but we are not the deployer.
In practice, the systems we build typically include:
How we think about AI
-
01
Humans decide
AI assists, summarizes, and accelerates. It doesn't make final calls on things that matter — people do. We build systems that keep humans in control.
-
02
Transparency by default
If an interface uses AI, users should know. We don't mask AI interactions as human ones. We label, log, and explain.
-
03
No client data in public models
We don't feed client or user data into third-party AI models without explicit agreement. Sensitive workloads run on private infrastructure or local models.
-
04
We stay current
AI regulation is moving fast. We track EU AI Act developments and update our practices as the landscape evolves.
EU AI Act & compliance
The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) broadly applies from August 2026, with remaining obligations phasing in through 2027. We've assessed our position:
As a software development consultancy, TEN INVENT acts as a technical subcontractor. We are not the deployer of the AI systems we build for clients. Responsibility for AI Act compliance of the deployed product rests with the product owner.
For our own internal use of AI tools, we apply the following:
AI literacy
All team members working with AI tools maintain documented awareness of their capabilities, limitations, and appropriate use — as required by Article 4 of the AI Act.
Inventory & classification
We maintain an internal inventory of AI systems used and have classified them by risk level. The tools we use internally fall in the minimal to limited risk categories.
No high-risk deployments (internal)
We do not use AI internally for recruitment decisions, employee evaluation, or any process that would qualify as high-risk under Annex III of the AI Act.
