High-Risk AI Under the Microscope: Comparing Regulatory Approaches in Poland, India, the UK, US, and Latin America (Brazil)
As artificial intelligence systems embed into consequential sectors - healthcare, financial services, employment, public administration - regulators worldwide are grappling with how to classify and supervise "high-risk" applications. What qualifies as "high-risk" varies across jurisdictions, as do the obligations that follow.
In the European Union, the AI Act requires conformity assessments, documentation, and human oversight for high-risk systems (Annex III obligations apply from December 2027). The United Kingdom has no equivalent statute; sector regulators like the FCA and ICO apply cross-government principles to high-risk uses in finance, healthcare, and employment. In Brazil, Bill 2338/2023 proposes subject-based classification with algorithmic impact assessments and human oversight for high-risk uses in health, justice, and employment.
Drawing on advisory experience from Europe, US, UK, Latin America, and beyond, panellists will examine how systems are designated high-risk, where frameworks converge and diverge, and how enforcement posture shapes what "compliant" means in practice. Participants will leave with practical reference points for assessing classification and compliance strategies across jurisdictions.
