Which AI systems MUST be registered in the EU database?

Accepted Answer

The EU database registration obligation specifically applies to high-risk AI systems falling under Annex III, with exceptions for certain categories like Annex III point 2.

Question 3

Who must register the AI system in the EU database according to the EU AI Act?

Accepted Answer

Article 49(1) places the primary registration obligation with the provider (or authorized representative). Public deployers have an additional registration obligation for their use.

Question 4

What must a provider register if they claim an Annex III system is NOT high-risk under Article 6(3)?

Accepted Answer

Even with a 'not high-risk' claim under Article 6(3), registration is mandatory (Article 49(2)). The provider must register which condition(s) from Article 6(3) apply and provide a brief justification.

Question 5

Which deployers must register their USE of high-risk AI systems?

Accepted Answer

Article 49(3) specifically requires public authorities, EU institutions, and parties acting on their behalf to register their use. Private deployers do not have this obligation.

Which Annex III category is NOT registered in the central EU database?

Accepted Answer

Article 49(5) states that high-risk AI systems from Annex III point 2 (critical infrastructure) are registered at national level, not in the central EU database.

Accepted Answer

Annex VIII Section C requires public deployers to add a summary of their Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA), and where relevant also a summary of the DPIA.

When must a provider register the AI system in the EU database?

Accepted Answer

Article 49(1) is clear: registration must take place BEFORE placing on the market or putting into service the high-risk AI system.

Question 9

How does the Dutch Algorithm Register relate to the EU AI Act registration obligation?

Accepted Answer

The Dutch Algorithm Register (algoritmes.overheid.nl) is broader than the EU AI Act: it does not only concern AI systems and is not limited to Annex III high-risk. Government organizations may have to deal with both tracks.

Question 10

When do the registration obligations from Article 49 become applicable?

Accepted Answer

For the registration obligations from Article 49 and the EU database from Article 71, August 2, 2026 is the application date, coinciding with the broader start of high-risk obligations.
