Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment for High-Risk AI Systems

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 · Article 27 · Source
Plain-language summary
Deployers of high-risk AI systems that are public bodies or private entities providing public services must conduct a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment before deploying such systems. The assessment requires describing the intended use, affected individuals, potential risks, human oversight measures, and mitigation steps. It must be performed prior to first use and updated as needed. The results must be reported to the market surveillance authority, unless an exemption applies. The AI Office will provide a template to standardize this process.

Compliance deadline
