Commission publishes guidelines on AI system definition
The European Commission has published guidelines to assist providers in determining whether a software system constitutes artificial intelligence (AI) under the Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act). These non-binding guidelines aim to facilitate the application of the Act's rules, which began on 2 February. The Commission states that the guidelines will evolve over time based on practical experiences and new use cases. The AI Act classifies AI systems into risk categories, including prohibited, high-risk, and those subject to transparency obligations. These guidelines complement existing guidance on prohibited AI practices.
