Draft Guidelines Clarify Which AI Systems Are “High-Risk” Under EU AI Act

The Draft Guidelines provide general principles which inform if an AI system is high-risk, as well as a non-exhaustive list of examples of high-risk AI systems across various sectors. Organizations can provide feedback on the Draft Guidelines via this survey until June 23, 2026.
