At Anekanta® we focus on maximising the opportunities and balancing the risks arising from the development and use of high-risk AI. The definition of high-risk AI is that which poses a risk to the health, safety and fundamental rights of individuals. A range of use cases are defined in the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) Annex III across sectors and domains including biometrics, critical infrastructure, education and vocational training, employment, workers’ management and access to self-employment, access to and enjoyment of essential private services and essential public services and benefits, law enforcement and administration of justice and democratic processes.
Additionally, we support a range of sectors concerned about high-risk governance requirements primarily set out in the EU AI Act Chapter III. Further to EU AI Act requirements, the implementation of the foundational principles for trustworthy AI, originated in the OECD, blended with good board governance practice are of interest to all sectors, and specifically those which process personal data and whose activities may have a biased effect on groups underrepresented in data. Furthermore, by modelling commercial existential risk, we identify the potential show stoppers which may result in a great AI application opportunity being permanently confined to the status of ‘pilot’. To find out how we can help you balance opportunity and risk for the maximum return get in touch today.
