Results for "high-risk"

High-Risk AI System

Intermediate

AI used in sensitive domains requiring compliance.

High-risk AI systems are types of artificial intelligence that can have serious consequences if they fail. For example, AI used in medical devices or self-driving cars is considered high-risk because mistakes could harm people. Because of this, there are strict rules that these systems must follo...
