European Union: Adopted EU Parliament position AI Act including testing requirement for "high-risk AI systems"
Description
Adopted EU Parliament position AI Act including testing requirement for "high-risk AI systems"
On 14 June 2023, the European Parliament adopted its position on the Act on Harmonised Rules for Artificial Intelligence (AI Act), which includes testing requirements for so-called "high-risk AI systems" as part of the requirement to implement risk management measures for such systems (Art. 9). Specifically, developers must test high-risk AI systems in order to identify the most effective risk management measures, to ensure that such systems consistently perform their intended purpose, and that they comply with the Act's requirements. Tests should be performed prior to such systems being made available on the market, not going beyond what is necessary to achieve testing purposes, and remaining within defined testing metrics. Further, the Regulation provides for the possibility of conducting testing in real world conditions, i.e. outside of regulatory sandboxes, under certain conditions. The Parliament will start the negotiation with the Council on the final version of the Act.
