One of the key requirements of the EU AI Act is that organisations must assess the risks posed by their AI systems before deploying them. This assessment must cover a wide range of factors, including the potential impact of the AI system on human safety, fundamental rights, and the environment.
Anekanta®AI’s AI Risk Intelligence System™ can help organisations to comply with the EU AI Act by providing them with a systematic and comprehensive way to assess the risks posed by their AI systems. The system challenges developers and users to consider a range of detailed questions about their AI systems, including the following:
- What is the purpose of the AI system?
- What data does the AI system use?
- How does the AI system make decisions?
- What are the potential outputs of the AI system?
- What are the potential impacts of the AI system on people and society?
Once complete, Anekanta®AI’s AI Risk Intelligence System™ generates a detailed report that identifies and assesses the risks posed by the AI system. The report also includes recommendations for mitigating these risks.
