Map every system to a point of Annex III

Determine per AI system which of the eight areas and which lettered subpoint the intended purpose touches, or establish with reasons that no point applies. Then run the Article 6(3) test and record the outcome as Article 6(4) requires. Do so at the level of the intended purpose and not at the level of the department or the sector.

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

The obligation this hangs off

    • Condition | any ofApplies where the intended purpose of the AI system falls within one of the eight areas listed in Annex III: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education and vocational training, employment and workers management, access to essential private and public services, law enforcement, migration and border control management, or administration of justice and democratic processes.
    • Condition | allClassification follows Article 6(2). For points 1, 6 and 7 the text adds the condition that the use is permitted under relevant Union or national law. We read that condition as meaning that a prohibition under Article 5 comes before the question whether the system is high-risk; that is our reading and not the literal text, which states the condition without naming the order.
    • Condition | any ofThe duty rests on the provider, but the role can shift. Under Article 25(1) a distributor, importer, deployer or third party becomes a provider itself where it puts its name or trademark on the system, makes a substantial modification, or changes the intended purpose such that the system becomes high-risk under Article 6. From that moment it carries the mapping to a point of Annex III itself.
    • ExceptionArticle 6(3) takes a system listed in Annex III back outside high-risk where it does not pose a significant risk of harm to health, safety or fundamental rights, including by not materially influencing the outcome of decision making, and one of four conditions is met: the system performs a narrow procedural task, it improves the result of a previously completed human activity, it detects decision making patterns or deviations from prior patterns without replacing or influencing the previously completed human assessment without proper human review, or it performs a preparatory task to an assessment relevant for the purposes of the use cases listed in Annex III. A system that performs profiling of natural persons is always high-risk.
    • ExceptionThe derogation is not free. Article 6(4) requires a provider who considers that a system referred to in Annex III is not high-risk to document its assessment before the system is placed on the market or put into service, subjects that provider to the registration obligation in Article 49(2), and requires it to provide the documentation to national competent authorities on request.

    As long as this exception is not ruled out, the outcome stays conditional and you have to establish it yourself.
