The EU AI Act: Part Four – Low Risk AI Systems And Enforcement

This is part four of our examination of the European Union's new artificial intelligence law, the ("EU AI Act"). In part one, we introduced the scope of the EU AI Act and discussed what types of AI systems are outright banned. In part two, we discussed high risk AI systems. In part three, we looked at the requirements for general-purpose AI models. In this article, we examine low risk AI systems and overall enforcement.

Low Risk AI Systems

A low risk AI system is simply an AI system that is not a prohibited AI system or a high risk AI system. In contrast to the extensive requirements imposed on high risk AI systems, the principal obligation for low risk AI systems under the EU AI Act is transparency. There are a number of transparency requirements for specific situations.
