How this score was derived

Methodology →

Scores 4/10: Amazon Q is primarily an internal enterprise AI assistant — analogous to Microsoft 365 Copilot in profile. AWS publishes EU compliance documentation. Article 50 obligations attach if Q is deployed to interact directly with customers rather than internal employees. Internal Q Developer (coding assistant) use is clearly minimal risk; internal Q Business use is limited risk where it can interact with external parties.
