European Union: Adopted Council general approach on AI Act including quality of service requirements for "high-risk" AI systems

Description

Adopted Council general approach on AI Act including quality of service requirements for "high-risk" AI systems

On 6 December 2022, the Council of the European Union adopted its general approach on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). Under the general approach, transparency and quality of service requirements are listed for "high-risk" AI systems. The "high-risk" AI systems are defined as systems that could pose or cause harm to the health and safety of individuals or could have a negative impact on individuals' fundamental rights. In particular, the "high-risk AI system" would have to have a risk management system established and tested to ensure that it performs consistently with its intended purpose. Furthermore, the "high-risk AI system" providers will have to develop security systems to ensure that natural persons can effectively oversee them.
