Under the EU AI Act, which AI system category requires a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) to be conducted by deployers?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You need to conduct a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment when you're deploying a high-risk AI system as a public body or a private entity providing public services. That's the specific EU AI Act trigger, not a blanket rule for every AI system.
Full Explanation
High-risk AI systems deployed by public bodies or private entities operating public services are correct. Article 27 of the EU AI Act requires deployers of high-risk AI systems that are bodies governed by public law, or private entities providing public services, to conduct a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment before putting the system into service. This is not a universal requirement for all AI systems used by any public or private organization. General-purpose AI systems with systemic risk designation trigger different obligations, mainly at the provider level. AI systems used exclusively for research and development purposes may be exempt from certain requirements and do not create this assessment duty.
