On 11 May 2023, the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) and Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO) adopted their position on the Act on Harmonised Rules for Artificial Intelligence (AI Act), establishing quality of service requirements for "high-risk" AI systems. The AI Act is based on a risk-based management approach and would establish obligations for providers and users depending on the level of risk generated by the AI system, namely an "unacceptable" risk, "high-risk", and "low or minimal" risk. In particular, under the LIBRE and IMCO position, the definition of "high-risk" AI systems is expanded to include systems that could pose or cause harm to the health and safety of individuals or could have a negative impact on individuals' fundamental rights and influence voters in political campaigns. The high-risk systems require a management system and testing to ensure it performs consistently with their intended purpose. Such systems' providers must develop security systems to ensure that natural persons can effectively oversee them. The subsequent legislative procedure is for the European Parliament to endorse the draft in plenary during the session in June 2023.
