Description

Adopted AI Act including cybersecurity requirement for "high-risk AI systems" by Council

On 21 May 2024, the Council of the European Union adopted the regulation laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act). The Act specifies that high-risk AI systems must be designed in a way that achieves an appropriate level of accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity. High-risk AI systems should further be designed so that they are resilient to third-party attempts to alter their use or performance, for example, through manipulation of datasets, inputs designed to trigger mistakes, model flaws, model poisoning, and confidentiality attacks. The Act will come into effect 20 days following its publication in the Official Journal and will be implemented 24 months after it enters into force. Chapters I and II will apply 6 months after the Act's effective date. Chapter III Section 4, Chapter V, Chapter VII, Chapter XII, and Article 78 will be implemented 12 months after the Act comes into effect.
