Article 61: informed consent of test subjects for testing in real world conditions
If you test a high-risk AI system in real world conditions outside an AI regulatory sandbox, freely-given informed consent must be obtained from every test subject before they participate. Beforehand the subject receives concise, clear, relevant and understandable information on five prescribed topics: the nature and objectives of the testing and the possible inconvenience, the conditions under which the testing is to be conducted including the expected duration of participation, their rights and guarantees including the right to refuse and the right to withdraw at any time without detriment and without justification, the arrangements for requesting the reversal or the disregarding of the outputs of the system, and the Union-wide unique single identification number with the contact details from whom further information can be obtained. The consent is dated and documented and the subject is given a copy.
