What this lesson covers
AI regulation increasingly applies a risk-tiered framework, where obligations scale with the potential for harm. This episode explains how regulators classify systems into prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk, and minimal-risk categories. Prohibited systems, such as manipulative social scoring, are banned outright. High-risk systems, including those in healthcare, finance, or infrastructure, face stringent requirements such as conformity assessments, transparency obligations, and ongoing monitoring. Limited-risk systems, like chatbots, may require disclosure notices, while minimal-risk systems, such as spam filters, face little oversight. Learners gain clarity on how risk classification informs compliance strategies.
