Use case
EU AI Act compliance for high-risk AI agents
The EU AI Act has no legal definition for an AI agent, but your system's function likely classifies it as a high-risk AI system. You face specific obligations for providers and deployers under Chapter III. Keeping up with conformity assessments, risk management updates, and post-market monitoring as your agent and the rules change is a manual, brittle process.
How the agent runs it
- 01
Classify the agent's function against the high-risk criteria in Annex III of the Act.
- 02
Establish and maintain the required technical documentation and risk management system.
- 03
Continuously monitor the agent's performance and the regulatory landscape for required updates.
Your high-risk AI agent maintains continuous compliance with the EU AI Act's obligations, reducing legal risk as both the system and regulations evolve.
