EU Consultation on Guidelines for High-Risk AI Systems
The European Commission has opened a consultation on draft guidelines for classifying high-risk AI systems. The goal is to assess the clarity and usefulness of the examples. The guidelines support providers, users, and market surveillance authorities in evaluating whether an AI system should be classified as high-risk. The deadline for feedback has been extended to 23 July 2026.
