摘要

This chapter clarifies the Act’s terminology and the four-tier risk taxonomy that determines regulatory obligations. We dissect the legal definition of an “AI system,” explain the criteria for unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risk, and explore the emerging focus on general-purpose AI. Practical manufacturing examples illustrate how identical technologies may fall into different tiers depending on context. The chapter closes with guidance on common risk-classification pitfalls and the importance of aligning internal assessment methods with Annex III and Article 6.
