A governance committee is reviewing AI system risk classifications. An AI system schedules job interviews by ranking candidate profiles using a scoring algorithm. Under the EU AI Act Annex III, how should this system MOST likely be classified?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Here's the deal — you're looking at a high-risk system because the EU AI Act's high-risk annex treats AI used for recruitment and selection, including ranking candidate profiles, as high-risk. That means you must meet conformity assessment, transparency, human oversight, accuracy, and documentation duties.
Full Explanation
High risk, as it is an AI system used for recruitment and selection of persons, is correct because EU AI Act Annex III explicitly classifies AI used in recruitment and selection — including ranking and screening of applicants — as high-risk. This triggers conformity assessment, transparency, human oversight, accuracy, and documentation requirements. The minimal-risk view that scheduling is administrative is wrong; ranking directly affects employment opportunities. The limited-risk view requiring only a transparency notice is wrong because limited risk applies to systems like chatbots. The prohibited view that automated hiring decisions violate fundamental rights is wrong; it is regulated as high-risk.
