EU AI Act Public Consultation Workshop: Technical Exchange on the Draft Guidelines on the Classification of High-Risk Uses of AI Systems (Biometrics) - EAB MEMBERS ONLY

Date: 2026-06-11 (13:00-16:00) Location: Online

Organizer: EAB with support from the European Commission
All times in CEST. EAB members only event.

The European Commission is preparing draft guidelines related to the implementation of requirements for high-risk AI systems, which will be subject to a public consultation period of approximately six weeks. During this time, stakeholders will be invited to provide input through the Commission’s consultation mechanisms. This set of guidelines covers the classification of high-risk uses of AI (i.e. it helps developers and users to determine whether the AI system/model they intend to develop and use, falls within or is excluded from the 'high-risk' category of AI systems).

This online workshop serves as a technical exchange, bringing together policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, and operational stakeholders. It aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the draft guidelines and support stakeholders in preparing informed contributions to the consultation process. Impacted actors will be able to share their feedback and experience to benefit from collaborative expertise.

Participants will directly engage with the European Commission with presentations and interactive sessions on guidelines topics.

This event is targeted at industry members and operators. Please note this is an EAB MEMBERS ONLY event.
