European Commission issues guidelines on what it considers high-risk uses of AI

The European Commission has published guidelines on its classification of what AI systems and use cases it considers to be high-risk. 

The aim of the commission is to provide information, support and some degree of clarity to developers, owners and deployers of AI systems (as well as regulators and public authorities) on whether and when AI tools or systems should be classified as high risk, therefore engaging the specific applicable requirements of the EU's new AI Act (its Article 6). 

To the extent that your organisation seeks to use AI within the EU, or to provide / offer goods or services within the EU, then this is very relevant reading. More broadly, we consider it useful guidance (in the absence of domestic legislation, regulation or guidance) for UK organisations seeking to develop, deploy or consider specific AI tools and systems.
