Study Notes
Prohibited AI Practices in the EU
- Deploying AI systems with manipulative 'subliminal techniques' is prohibited.
- Exploiting specific vulnerable groups based on traits, social status, age, or disability is prohibited.
- Expanding facial recognition databases through untargeted web image scraping is prohibited.
- Infering emotions of a natural person in workplace and education institutions is prohibited.
- Using AI for social scoring is prohibited.
- Employing remote biometric identification in public spaces is prohibited.
- Fines for non-compliance can reach up to 7% of global revenues or 35 million euros, whichever is higher.
High-Risk AI Systems
- The AI Act defines 'high-risk' AI systems that threaten health, safety, or fundamental rights.
- Examples of high-risk AI systems include:
- Use in health and safety products (e.g., toys, aviation, cars, medical devices, lifts).
- Management and operation of critical infrastructure.
- Access to essential private and public services and benefits (e.g., credit, healthcare, insurance).
- Employment, worker management, and access to self-employment.
- Biometric and biometrics-based systems (incl. non-prohibited emotion recognition systems).
- Education and vocational training.
- Influencing the outcome of an election or referendum.
- Used in social media recommender systems for content recommendations.
- Administration of justice and democratic processes.
- Migration, asylum, and border control management.
Obligations for Deployers of High-Risk AI
- Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment is required.
- Diligent Use & Monitoring is required.
- Data Quality & Governance is required.
- Define purpose, scope, and impact.
