The guidelines will support AI providers and deployers in assessing whether their system is high-risk or not.
Under the AI Act, a limited list of use cases of AI systems are considered high-risk when they endanger health, safety or fundamental rights. These guidelines will be complemented by other Commission guidelines to facilitate compliance with the obligations for high-risk AI systems.
The draft guidelines are published on the AI Act Single Information Platform. Stakeholders, including providers and developers of AI systems, businesses and public authorities as well as academia, research institutions and citizens, are invited to share their views by 23 June 2026.
