What’s allowed — and what isn’t.

While AI is slowly making its way into more and more authorities, legal uncertainty is growing. Because the new question that service providers and decision-makers have to ask themselves is: what does the EU AI Act allow. Or rather, what doesn’t it…

The EU AI Act distinguishes systematically between risks for the first time:

Non-critical applications

High-risk applications

Prohibited applications

Especially relevant for authorities: many typical fields of use fall into the “High Risk” category — from automated decision support, to evaluating applications, to systems that affect citizens’ rights.

For authorities, that means: AI can no longer simply be introduced. It has to be demonstrably transparent, function in a comprehensible way, be documented, and be verifiable (as long as it’s a high-risk application).

What does that mean for your local administration?

Plan first, then act. We’re happy to advise you!
