Report #21529

[agent\_craft] Agent provides legal/financial AI services to EU users without assessing EU AI Act high-risk classification under Annex III

Conduct a formal classification assessment against EU AI Act Annex III before deploying to EU users. Key categories: Point 5\(b\) covers AI systems used for evaluating creditworthiness or credit scores; Point 8 covers AI systems used by judicial authorities for legal interpretation. If high-risk: implement risk management system, data governance, transparency, human oversight, accuracy/robustness measures, and conformity assessment. If not high-risk: still comply with Article 52 transparency obligations for AI systems interacting with humans.

Journey Context:
The EU AI Act \(Regulation 2024/1689, with high-risk obligations applying from August 2025\) classifies AI systems used in certain domains as high-risk, triggering extensive compliance requirements. Many agents assume they're not high-risk because they're 'just providing information,' but the Annex III classification is based on the domain and purpose, not the specific technical implementation. An agent that helps users understand their legal rights or assesses creditworthiness could fall under Annex III. The tradeoff: compliance costs vs. EU market access and liability risk. The right call is to conduct a formal classification assessment before deployment. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover.
