Definition
High-risk AI system
An AI system classified under Article 6 and Annex III of the EU AI Act as posing significant risks to health, safety, or fundamental rights. High-risk categories include AI used in employment decisions, credit scoring, access to essential services, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure. High-risk AI systems face the most demanding compliance obligations — conformity assessments, data governance, and quality management systems. Annex III obligations for use-based high-risk systems were deferred to December 2027 in the Omnibus amendments.
