Healthcare & Medical Devices
AI in healthcare is heavily impacted by the AI Act. Medical diagnostic AI, treatment recommendation systems, and patient triage tools are classified as high-risk under Annex III. Additionally, AI systems embedded in medical devices face dual regulation under the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and the AI Act. Organizations must coordinate conformity assessments across both frameworks.
Financial Services
Credit scoring, insurance underwriting, and fraud detection AI systems fall under high-risk categories. Financial institutions must ensure their AI systems meet the AI Act's requirements while maintaining compliance with existing financial regulations (MiFID II, PSD2, CRD). The intersection of AI Act data governance requirements with GDPR and financial data regulations requires careful coordination.
Human Resources & Recruitment
AI systems used in employment decisions are explicitly classified as high-risk under Annex III. This includes CV screening tools, automated interview analysis, candidate ranking systems, performance evaluation AI, and worker management algorithms. HR departments must conduct thorough impact assessments and implement human oversight for all AI-assisted hiring decisions.
Education
AI systems used to determine access to education, assess students, or manage educational processes are classified as high-risk. This includes automated grading systems, admission decision tools, and adaptive learning platforms that influence student pathways. Educational institutions deploying these systems must ensure transparency and human oversight.
