Fundamental rights impact assessments

Some deployers have to assess what a high-risk system could do to people's fundamental rights before they use it. This duty falls on a specific set of deployers.

Updated May 2026

What the duty is

A fundamental rights impact assessment works through who a high-risk system could affect and how, what could go wrong, and the safeguards you will put in place. It sits under Article 27.

When it applies

This is conditional, and narrower than the others. It applies if you are a public body, a private provider of public services, or you use high-risk AI for creditworthiness or for life and health insurance. If none of those describe you, it is unlikely to be on your roadmap.

Marking it done

Complete the assessment where it applies, then mark the duty done on your roadmap. Public authorities may also need to register the system; see registering in the EU database.
