Could the AI system make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects without human intervention?
Could the AI system make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects without human intervention?
- AI systems that make decisions without human oversight may fall under GDPR Article 22, which restricts significant automated decisions unless specific safeguards are in place. These decisions can affect individuals’ rights, legal status, or access to services.
- Additionally, Article 86 of the AI Act requires transparency and the provision of clear explanations for significant decisions made by high-risk AI systems.
If you answered Yes then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Consult privacy and legal experts to determine whether your system qualifies under Article 22 of the GDPR.
- Implement mechanisms for human intervention, contestability, and explanation. Article 22(3) of the GDPR provides individuals with the right to obtain human intervention in automated decisions and the right to contest such decisions.
- Align with the EU AI Act's oversight and transparency requirements.
- Ensure that impacted users are informed of their rights and can seek human review.
- Maintain documentation of decision logic, oversight processes, and risk mitigation strategies.
