From Legal Text to AI-specific Risk Sources: Systematic analysis of the EU AI Act's high-risk requirements (arXiv preprint)
Authors present a systematic classification of requirements in Section 2 of the EU AI Act (requirements for high-risk AI systems) and find that only a minority of those requirements directly address AI-specific risk sources while most impose organizational/process and documentation obligations. From the subset of AI-related requirements they derive a consolidated 'EU AI Act Risk Source List' to help compare the Act's implicit risk coverage with established AI risk taxonomies; this work is an authors' preprint presented at the cited conference.
KEY POINTS
- Authors present a systematic classification of requirements in Section 2 of the EU AI Act (requirements for high-risk AI systems) and find that only a minority of those requirements directly address AI-specific risk sources while most impose organizational/process and documentation obligations.
- From the subset of AI-related requirements they derive a consolidated 'EU AI Act Risk Source List' to help compare the Act's implicit risk coverage with established AI risk taxonomies; this work is an authors' preprint presented at the cited conference.
- Provides a structured bridge between legal obligations in the EU AI Act and practical AI risk taxonomies, helping practitioners align compliance and risk-management practice.
