Mastering the Requirements of the EU AI Act
According to the EU AI Act, which aims to foster trust and acceptance for AI in the European Union, a high-risk AI system is one that poses a significant potential to negatively affect the health, safety, or fundamental rights of individuals. This particularly concerns systems used in safety-critical areas or making critical decisions that can have far-reaching implications for people, as detailed in Annex III of the Act.
Here is the official and practically relevant overview of which AI systems are considered "high-risk AI" (according to the final EU AI Act, passed in March 2024, effective since 2025):
Categories of High-Risk AI
Biometric Identification and Categorization
AI systems for remote biometric identification of persons in real-time or ex-post (e.g., facial recognition in public spaces or for workplace monitoring) and for categorizing persons based on biometric characteristics (such as gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or emotional states).
Management and Operation of Critical Infrastructure
Systems used for the operation or management of critical infrastructures such as electricity, gas and water supply, traffic control systems, digital infrastructures, or medical emergency services, and whose failure or malfunction could significantly endanger human life, health, or safety.
Education and Vocational Training
AI systems intended to determine or assess access to educational institutions (e.g., admission procedures), evaluate learning performance (e.g., automated examination systems), or assess the suitability of individuals for specific educational paths or professional qualifications, which may impact career opportunities.
Employment, Personnel Management, and Access to Self-Employment
AI systems used for recruitment and selection of personnel (e.g., resume filtering, psychometric tests), performance evaluation of employees, promotion or dismissal, assignment of tasks, or monitoring of work behavior, as these can directly influence working conditions and livelihoods.
Requirements for High-Risk AI
1
Robust Risk Management System:
Implementation of a systematic approach to identify, analyze, evaluate, and mitigate risks throughout the entire lifecycle of the AI system, from development to decommissioning.
2
High Data Quality and Technical Documentation:
Ensuring the quality of training, validation, and test data sets regarding relevance, representativeness, and freedom from error. Creation and maintenance of comprehensive technical documentation that allows for transparent auditing of the system.
3
Transparency Obligations and Human Oversight:
Ensuring that the functioning of high-risk AI systems is understandable to users ("explainability"). Furthermore, effective human oversight must be possible at all times to correct undesirable results or deactivate the system.
4
Conformity Assessment and CE Marking:
Before a high-risk AI system is placed on the EU market, it must undergo a strict conformity assessment procedure. Upon successful completion, it receives the CE marking, confirming its compliance with all EU requirements.
5
Registration in the EU Database:
Mandatory registration of all standalone high-risk AI systems in a public EU database to ensure transparency and facilitate monitoring by market surveillance authorities.
