High-risk AI system
Definition
A high-risk AI system, in the EU AI Act, is one used in areas such as credit scoring, employment, essential services, critical infrastructure or law enforcement, or as a safety component of regulated products. It must meet requirements on risk management, data quality, documentation, human oversight, accuracy and security.
Why It Matters
Credit and insurance pricing uses can fall into high-risk categories, bringing conformity assessment and registration duties.
