BuildAIPolicy Research · Added 27 October 2026 · Last checked 27 October 2026
What it is
High-risk AI systems listed in Annex III, such as those used in employment, credit, education and access to essential services, will have to meet requirements including risk management, human oversight and documentation. Deployers have their own duties, such as following instructions for use and monitoring the system.
Who it affects
Providers of high-risk AI systems, and organisations that use them in the EU.
What to consider
- Find out whether any AI you use falls under Annex III.
- Ask your suppliers how they plan to meet the requirements.
