Justice sector and high-risk systems
NOTE from: Presidency to: CATS: Justice aspects of Artificial intelligence in the context of the proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (AI Act) - Discussion (Council doc. 11368/21, LIMITE, 8 September 2021, pdf):
"During their first discussion, ministers for justice expressed support for the initiative in general but also insisted that some justice aspects deserved further work. One of the key issues is the distinction used in the proposal for justice-related uses of AI when it comes to defining which systems are considered ‘high risk’. As the proposal relies on a risk-based approach, the question of whether an AI system is considered high risk or not plays a key role in the regime provided for in the proposal for an AI Act."
Presentations by the European Commission explain the provisions of the proposal on "high-risk systems":
