A draft framework setting conformity assessment requirements for higher-risk AI systems opened for public consultation, with a stated twelve week response period. The draft describes documentation, testing evidence and post-deployment monitoring obligations for in-scope deployers.
- Consultation period
- 12 weeks
- Stated status
- Draft, pre-adoption
Consultation stage is normally the point at which affected organisations commission gap assessments, which means advisory demand can precede adoption by a year or more. Firms that respond to the consultation also gain early sight of the final shape of the obligations.
These are possible consequences, not predictions. AreaIQ states what could follow, and leaves the judgement to you.
