Dublin, 12 May 2023: ADAPT Researchers Delaram Golpayegani (Trinity College Dublin), Dr. Harshvardhan Pandit (Dublin City University), and Prof. Dave Lewis (ADAPT Interim Director, Trinity College Dublin) have recently co-authored a paper addressing some of the challenges related to implementation and enforcement of the EU AI Act. The paper, titled “To Be High-Risk, or Not To Be—Semantic Specifications and Implications of the AI Act’s High-Risk AI Applications and Harmonised Standards”, has been accepted into the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency taking place in June of this year.
Aiming at simplifying identification of potential “high-risk” AI applications according to Annex III of the AI Act, this paper introduces 5 core concepts. Further, an open vocabulary of AI risks (VAIR) is developed to assist with identification and assessment of AI risks and impacts. The paper also investigates the current state of AI standardisation activities in regard to the Act’s requirements concerning high-risk AI systems.
