What are the requirements of the EU AI Act for high-risk systems?

The EU AI Act imposes strict requirements on high-risk AI systems to ensure safety, transparency, and user rights protection. The main requirements include:

• Risk assessment and management: mandatory risk assessment before deployment and continuous monitoring.
• Data quality: training data must be representative, accurate, and minimize bias.
• Documentation and transparency: detailed technical documentation, including architecture, algorithms, and operational principles.
• Explainability: users should be able to understand how the system makes decisions.
• Human oversight: the ability for human intervention to prevent errors or harm.
• Security and reliability: the system must operate stably and be protected against cyberattacks.
• Compliance with standards and certification: passing mandatory conformity assessment procedures before market release.

These measures aim to increase trust and fairness in AI use, especially in critical sectors such as healthcare, transportation, and justice.
