High-Risk AI System

A high-risk AI system is an AI system that falls within certain categories subject to enhanced requirements under the EU AI Act.

High-risk systems may include AI used in areas such as employment, education, essential services, law enforcement, migration, and certain safety-related applications.

Organizations responsible for high-risk AI may need to meet requirements involving risk management, documentation, data governance, accuracy, logging, transparency, human oversight, and post-market monitoring.

Whether an AI system is considered high risk depends on its intended purpose and how it is used, not simply on the underlying model or technology.
