EU-AI ACT
What happens if I
misjudge
the risk?
With the EU AI Act, companies face the challenge of correctly classifying their AI systems and ensuring compliance with the new regulations. However, misjudging the risk can have serious consequences.
If a company underestimates the risk of an AI system and incorrectly classifies it as "low risk" or "medium risk" when it actually falls under "high risk," the consequences can be significant.
High-risk AI systems are subject to strict requirements regarding transparency, security, data protection, and monitoring. Failure to comply with these requirements increases the risk of security vulnerabilities, data breaches, and discrimination caused by faulty or biased AI models.
Hochrisiko-KI-Systeme unterliegen strengen Anforderungen an Transparenz, Sicherheit, Datenschutz und Überwachung. Die Nichteinhaltung dieser Anforderungen erhöht das Risiko von Sicherheitslücken, Datenschutzverletzungen und Diskriminierung durch fehlerhafte oder voreingenommene KI-Modelle. (Siehe auch EU-AI-ACT Kapitel VII Artikel 99 Absatz 3)
To avoid these risks, companies should carefully assess their AI systems and ensure they are correctly classified. It is advisable to seek legal counsel and develop a comprehensive compliance strategy to guarantee regulatory adherence. An accurate risk assessment is crucial not only for maintaining legal compliance but also for strengthening trust in AI solutions and ensuring their long-term use.
