High-Risk AI System
An EU AI Act category covering AI used in safety components or in listed high-impact domains.
What is High-Risk AI System?
High-risk AI systems include those used in critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, and the administration of justice. They trigger the bulk of EU AI Act obligations. Architecture matters because logging, oversight, and documentation cannot be retrofitted cheaply. See EU AI Act-Ready Architecture.
