Frequently Asked Questions
What is Annex III of the EU AI Act?
Annex III lists use cases that are classified as 'high-risk' under the EU AI Act. If your AI system falls into one of these categories, you have additional obligations under Articles 6-27.
What obligations do high-risk AI systems have?
High-risk AI systems require: risk management systems, data governance, technical documentation, record-keeping, transparency to users, human oversight, accuracy and robustness measures, and conformity assessment.
What if my AI system might be high-risk?
If there's any doubt, treat the system as potentially high-risk and begin preparing documentation. Use our Article 26 checklist to understand deployer obligations.
Are there exceptions to high-risk classification?
Some systems in Annex III areas may not be high-risk if they don't pose significant risks. For example, narrow/limited AI for document processing might be exempt. Review the specific conditions in Article 6.
