Annex III expert page
AI in infrastructure requires classification that considers technical function, safety impact and AI Act obligations together.
Map the infrastructure function, AI output and impact on safety or availability.
Annex III point 2
Annex III point 2 focuses on AI systems intended for safety components or management of specific critical infrastructure. The draft guidelines cover critical digital infrastructure, road traffic, water, gas, heating and electricity.
Is the AI intended to manage, prioritise or secure infrastructure in a way that can affect safety or availability?
AI for management, monitoring, security or prioritisation within critical digital infrastructure.
AI systems supporting traffic flows, priorities or safety decisions in road traffic.
AI in supply, monitoring, balancing or disruption detection for utilities.
Short answers for classification, evidence and next steps under Annex III.
Expert review is useful when the core question is not straightforward: Is the AI intended to manage, prioritise or secure infrastructure in a way that can affect safety or availability? This is especially relevant when the outcome may affect access, assessment, safety, oversight or fundamental rights.
A classification intake maps the intended purpose, Annex III route, Article 6(3) filter, profiling, provider/deployer roles and the first evidence items.
This page provides general explanation based on the AI Act and the Commission guidelines. Concrete classification depends on system design, use context, role allocation and available documentation.
