Transparent AI Systems

The AI Act ensures the reliability of AI systems by implementing various obligations.

Background

Background Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 13 June 2024 (Artificial Intelligence Act – AI Act), establishes a harmonised framework for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the European Union (EU).

The AI Act ensures the reliability of AI systems by implementing various obligations. In particular, Article 50 of the AI Act, on transparency obligations, stipulates the need for:

• Transparency in interaction with AI: AI system providers must clearly inform individuals when they are interacting with an AI system, unless this would be obvious to a reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect person.
