Assess Art. 6(3) 'No Significant Risk' Exception
euaiact_assess_art6_3_exceptionAssess whether an Annex III AI system meets the Art. 6(3) exception: narrow procedural task, improves human activity, detects patterns without replacing human review, or preparatory task; verify no profiling and documented assessment.
Instructions
Walk through the Art. 6(3) exception for Annex III high-risk AI systems. An Annex III system is NOT high-risk only if the provider affirmatively assesses no significant risk to health, safety, or fundamental rights, AND the system falls under one of the four conditions: (a) narrow procedural task, (b) improves prior human activity, (c) detects patterns without replacing human assessment, (d) preparatory task. Set no_significant_risk_to_health_safety_fundamental_rights=true only when that threshold has been assessed. CRITICAL: The exception does NOT apply if the system performs profiling of natural persons (Art. 6(3) second subparagraph). Providers invoking the exception must document the assessment (Art. 6(4)) and still register in the EU database (Art. 49(2)).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| annex_iii_number | No | Annex III category number (1-8). Provide if known — helps the response reference the right rules. | |
| no_significant_risk_to_health_safety_fundamental_rights | No | Has the provider affirmatively assessed that the system does not pose a significant risk of harm to health, safety, or fundamental rights, including by not materially influencing decision-making outcomes? Required for Art. 6(3). | |
| performs_profiling | Yes | Does the system perform profiling of natural persons? If true, Art. 6(3) exception is UNAVAILABLE regardless of other conditions (Art. 6(3) second subparagraph). | |
| narrow_procedural_task | No | Art. 6(3)(a): intended to perform a narrow procedural task (e.g. transform unstructured to structured data, classify documents, detect duplicates). | |
| improves_prior_human_activity | No | Art. 6(3)(b): intended to improve the result of a previously completed human activity (e.g. improve drafting style). | |
| detects_patterns_without_replacing_human_review | No | Art. 6(3)(c): intended to detect decision-making patterns or deviations, not replace/influence human assessment without proper review. | |
| preparatory_task | No | Art. 6(3)(d): intended to perform a preparatory task for an assessment relevant to an Annex III use case. | |
| documented_assessment | No | Has the provider documented the Art. 6(3) exception assessment? Required by Art. 6(4) regardless of which condition applies. |
