Could the AI system affect the freedom of its users?

Is the output of the model accurate, fair and not discriminatory? Consider the risk if this could be used for monitoring or surveillance purposes; for instance a face recognition system that could wrongly identify a suspect, bringing him/her to jail. Or systems that can spread fake news putting the life of somebody in danger.

If you answered Yes then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
