Ways of avoiding falling under the scope of application of high-risk AI systems (Part II)
The AI Act contains a comprehensive regulatory programme for providers of high-risk AI systems. Providers of AI systems would therefore be well advised to take measures to avoid falling under the scope of application of high-risk AI systems. According to the exemption codified in Art. 6 (3) AI Act, AI systems that would generally be categorised as high-risk AI systems under Art. 6 (1) AI Act are exempt from this categorisation according to certain criteria. Here, we report on a first possible way of avoiding falling under the corresponding area of application. A further way of avoiding falling under the scope of application of high-risk AI systems is provided by Art. 25 (1) AI Act for providers of AI systems that have been placed on the market or put into operation.
