High-Risk AI

Definition

High-Risk AI refers to AI systems classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act because they can significantly impact people's health, safety, or fundamental rights. This includes AI used in recruitment, credit scoring, education, and critical infrastructure. These systems face strict requirements for transparency, documentation, human oversight, and risk management. In marketing, this primarily affects AI-powered systems for automated decision-making that can substantially influence consumer behavior.
