European Union: Published AI regulation proposal including design requirements for "high-risk" AI systems
Description
Published AI regulation proposal including design requirements for "high-risk" AI systems
On 21 April 2021, the European Commission proposed a regulation on a European approach to Artificial Intelligence, which includes design requirements for so-called "high-risk AI systems" as part of a wider requirement for a risk management system (Art. 9). Specifically, identified risks should, as far as possible, through the implementation of technical measures technical measures during the design and technical process, be either eliminated, or mitigated and controlled. Further, high-risk AI systems should be designed such that they are able to be used transparently, with a sufficient level of human oversight, and with the capacity to automatically record its use.
