Plain-language summary
The Commission may amend Annex III by adding or modifying high-risk AI use cases if they are intended for areas listed in Annex III and pose risks to health, safety, or fundamental rights equivalent to or greater than existing high-risk systems. The Commission must assess criteria such as intended purpose, data processing, autonomy, and potential harm before making changes. It may also remove high-risk AI systems from Annex III if they no longer pose significant risks and deletion does not reduce overall protection levels.
