life sciences lensArticle 3 definitions
Use this as a trigger for EU AI Act applicability review, not as an automatic compliance conclusion. Definitions drive actor, system, risk, and literacy interpretation.
Article 4 AI literacy
Use this as a trigger for EU AI Act applicability review, not as an automatic compliance conclusion. Providers and deployers need literacy measures appropriate to role, context, and people affected.
High-risk classification
Use this as a trigger for EU AI Act applicability review, not as an automatic compliance conclusion. Teams need a documented classification decision rather than a loose label.
Provider / deployer roles
Use this as a trigger for EU AI Act applicability review, not as an automatic compliance conclusion. Obligations depend on role, control, intended use, and deployment context.
Human oversight
Use this as a trigger for EU AI Act applicability review, not as an automatic compliance conclusion. Oversight becomes a planned operating control, not a vague ethical statement.
Technical documentation
Use this as a trigger for EU AI Act applicability review, not as an automatic compliance conclusion. Traceable records connect design, risk, data, testing, and user-facing information.
