1The requirements for high-risk AI systems laid down in Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 address specific risks inherent to AI systems, including bias, unpredictable model behaviour, poor robustness or accuracy, vulnerabilities to attacks by third parties, and a lack of transparency of the AI system. 2By addressing AI-specific risks, that Regulation complements the requirements laid down in Union harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I to that Regulation, without duplicating them. 3Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 provides mechanisms for economic operators to minimise the compliance burden. 4In particular, Article 8(2) on the interplay with the sectoral legislation, Article 9(10) on risk management and Article 17(3) on quality management, allow economic operators to integrate, when necessary and appropriate, an assessment of AI-specific risks into existing risk and quality management systems. 5Article 40 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 further requires the Commission to specify that harmonised standards developed pursuant to that Regulation are to be consistent with standards developed pursuant to the Union harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I to that Regulation. 6The Commission should provide guidelines to assist economic operators of high-risk AI systems covered in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 in complying with that Regulation, including by providing guidance on the application of Article 8(2), Article 9(10) and Article 17(3) of that Regulation as mechanisms to minimise the compliance burden, in line with principles of complementarity and proportionality. 7Those guidelines should be published, at the latest, by 1 August 2027.
