Chapter 4 TRANSPARENCY OBLIGATIONS FOR PROVIDERS AND DEPLOYERS OF CERTAIN AI SYSTEMS Flashcards
Q: What are the transparency obligations for providers of AI systems intended to interact with natural persons?
A: Providers must ensure AI systems intended to directly interact with natural persons are designed so that individuals are informed they are interacting with an AI system, unless it is obvious to a reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect person. This does not apply to certain AI systems authorized by law to detect or investigate criminal offenses.
Q: What are the transparency requirements for providers and deployers of AI systems generating synthetic content?
A: Providers of AI systems generating synthetic audio, image, video or text must ensure outputs are marked as artificially generated in a machine-readable format, with effective technical solutions. Deployers of AI generating “deep fake” content must disclose it has been artificially generated. Deployers of AI generating text published to inform the public on matters of public interest must disclose it is artificially generated.
Q: What are the transparency obligations for deployers of emotion recognition or biometric categorization AI systems?
A: Deployers of emotion recognition or biometric categorization AI must inform exposed individuals of the system’s operation and process personal data in accordance with applicable EU data protection laws. This does not apply to certain systems authorized by law to detect or investigate criminal offenses.
Q: How and when must information about the use of these AI systems be provided to individuals?
A: Information must be provided to concerned individuals in a clear and distinguishable manner, at the latest at the time of first interaction or exposure. The information must conform to applicable accessibility requirements.
Q: What other provisions apply regarding transparency obligations for certain AI systems?
A: The transparency obligations are without prejudice to requirements in Chapter III or other transparency obligations in Union or national law. The AI Office shall facilitate codes of conduct to implement synthetic content detection/labeling obligations. The Commission can adopt implementing acts to approve those codes or specify common rules.
