Bytes: Classifying High-Risk AI Under the EU AI Act


Listen Later

The European Commission has published draft guidelines to help businesses navigate one of the EU AI Act's most consequential determinations: whether their AI systems fall into the high-risk category. In this episode of “Bytes,” Emily Griffin from Skadden's IP and Technology team in London breaks down the two routes to a high-risk classification under Article 6: the product safety route, covering AI systems that are regulated products or safety components subject to third-party conformity assessment, and the use-case route, covering systems whose intended purpose falls into one of eight sensitive areas. She also highlights a self-assessment “safety valve” under Article 6(3) and updated compliance timelines, with a clear message: start the classification work now.
