Classification of high-risk AI systems

“

- [Instructor] "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risk," was stated by the famous physicist, Steven Hawking. Hawking understood the inherent risk and benefits associated with developing AI systems. By appropriately defining a method for identifying systems that present inherently high risk to natural persons, we can better understand those risks, while maintaining innovation. Here, I'll review the types of systems that fall into the high risk tier of the AI Acts risk-based approach. High risk AI systems can be broken down into two buckets. The first bucket includes AI systems that will function as the safety component of a product and those that are a product covered by the Union harmonization legislation. I won't go into detail about harmonization legislation here, however, it's worth noting it is a list of product safety directives for companies operating in the EU. These…
