  Use and development. I know how to make chemical weapons in two distinct ways using only items found in a perfectly normal domestic kitchen, that doesn't change the fact that chemical weapons are in fact banned. """The legal framework will apply to both public and private actors inside and outside the EU as long as the AI system is placed on the Union market, or its use has an impact on people located in the EU. The obligations can affect both providers (e.g. a developer of a CV-screening tool) and deployers of AI systems (e.g. a bank buying this screening tool). There are certain exemptions to the regulation. Research, development and prototyping activities that take place before an AI system is released on the market are not subject to these regulations. Additionally, AI systems that are exclusively designed for military, defense or national security purposes, are also exempt, regardless of the type of entity carrying out those activities.""" - https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_21_1683 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_...

  The law specifically refers to putting a product in to service or placing a product on the market if they are on the prohibited (article 5) or high-risk (article 6, annex III) list and don't have an applicable exception. IANAL, but it's pretty obvious that a set of weights alone clearly is not such a product. Also note that the law has explicit exceptions for research, development, open source and personal use.
