The document below is a 2025 report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) entitled "Assessing High-risk Artificial Intelligence: Fundamental Rights Risks." The report examines the risks to fundamental rights associated with the use of high-risk AI systems in sectors such as asylum, employment, and law enforcement. Based on interviews with AI suppliers, users, and experts, it highlights the need for clear guidelines for the implementation of the EU AI Act, which came into force in 2024. Crucially, the FRA recommends that the definitions of "AI system" and "high-risk" should be interpreted broadly to prevent loopholes. The report concludes that robust risk assessment and mitigation not only protects rights but also leads to better and more reliable technology.
