EU AI Act’s High-Risk & Prohibited AI Use Cases – AVAILABLE

The EU AI Act [1] requires providers of AI systems to determine whether their AI system is prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk, or minimal-risk under the Act. To support this, the European Commission has published guidelines for prohibited AI [2] and high-risk systems (draft)[3] providing example use cases for each risk category. Although these guidelines are helpful, they present the use cases in a pdf, with limited searchability. This project aims to curate a linked open data resource including high-risk AI and prohibited AI use cases based on these two EU guidelines. The project builds upon existing frameworks for determining  the AI Act’s high-risk AI [4] and prohibited AI systems [5] to annotate use cases and publish them as a queryable knowledge graph. Using LLM-based capabilities, the project will further develop a tool to find , within the knowledge graph, use cases similar to a free-text description of an AI system.
