European Commission launches public consultation on high-risk AI systems
25 June 2025
The European Commission has launched a public consultation to gather input on implementing the AI Act's rules on high-risk AI systems.
The consultation will collect practical examples and clarify issues relating to high-risk AI systems. This feedback will be taken into account in the upcoming Commission guidelines on classifying high-risk AI systems, and related requirements and obligations. It will also collect input on responsibilities along the AI value chain.
The AI Act identifies two types of ‘high-risk' AI systems: (1) important for product safety under the Union's harmonised legislation on product safety; and (2) those that can significantly affect people's health, safety, or fundamental rights in specific use cases listed in the AI Act.
Stakeholders, including providers and developers of high-risk AI systems, businesses and public authorities using such systems, as well as academia, research institutions, civil society, governments, supervisory authorities, and citizens in general are invited to share their views.
The consultation will be open for 6 weeks until 18 July 2025.
