Answering question about AI Act
The answer to the question:"
How is transparency defined in the AI Act and what transparency requirements apply to low-risk Ai systems?
" is:
Transparency in the EU AI Act is not explicitly defined as a single concept. Instead, it is addressed through various obligations for providers and deployers of AI systems to ensure that users and affected individuals are informed about the nature and capabilities of the AI systems they interact with.
For AI systems that are not classified as high-risk (which could be considered lower-risk), the key transparency requirements include:
1. Informing users of AI interaction: Providers must ensure that AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons inform people they are interacting with an AI system, unless it's obvious.
2. Marking synthetic content: Providers of AI systems that generate synthetic audio, image, video, or text content must ensure that the outputs are marked as artificially generated or manipulated.
3. Disclosing deep fakes: Deployers of AI systems that generate or manipulate image, audio, or video content constituting a deep fake must disclose that the content has been artificially generated or manipulated.
4. Disclosing AI-generated text: Deployers of AI systems that generate or manipulate text published to inform the public on matters of public interest must disclose that the text has been artificially generated or manipulated.
5. Clear and timely disclosure: Information about AI interaction or artificial generation must be provided in a clear and distinguishable manner at the latest at the time of the first interaction or exposure.
6. Accessibility: The information provided must conform to applicable accessibility requirements.
These requirements apply to specific types of AI systems and use cases, regardless of their risk classification. The aim is to ensure that people are aware when they are interacting with AI or consuming AI-generated content, thereby promoting transparency and trust in AI technologies
Reasoning: To answer this question, I examined the relevant articles of the EU AI Act, particularly Article 3 (Definitions) and Article 50 (Transparency Obligations). I noted that the Act doesn't explicitly define transparency or categorize systems as "low-risk." Instead, it focuses on high-risk systems and specific transparency obligations for certain AI systems.
I identified the relevant transparency requirements from Article 50 that would apply to AI systems not classified as high-risk, which could be considered lower-risk systems. These requirements include informing users about AI interaction, marking synthetic content, disclosing deep fakes and AI-generated text, and providing clear and timely disclosure in an accessible manner.
I summarized these requirements, focusing on the key points and explained their purpose in promoting awareness and trust in AI technologies. I also noted that these requirements apply to specific types of AI systems and use cases, regardless of a formal risk classification.
Assumptions made:
1. "Low-risk" AI systems refer to those not classified as high-risk in the AI Act.
2. The transparency requirements in Article 50 apply to all relevant AI systems, including those that might be considered lower-risk.
3. The question was asking about general transparency requirements rather than sector-specific or use-case-specific requirements that might exist elsewhere in the regulation.

Delegating question: "Please check Article 3 (Definitions) of the EU AI Act and let me know if there is a specific definition for "transparency" or any closely related terms. If there is, please provide that definition." to wikipedia expert
current url: https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/article/4/
Learned:
The provided text does not contain information about the definition of "transparency" or closely related terms in Article 3 of the EU AI Act. Instead, it provides information about Article 4, which focuses on AI literacy.
Quotes:
> Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf

current url: https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/article/3/
Learned:
There is no specific definition for "transparency" or any closely related terms in Article 3 (Definitions) of the EU AI Act.
Delegating question: "Please check the table of contents or structure of the EU AI Act and identify the chapter or article that most likely addresses transparency requirements for AI systems, particularly for low-risk AI systems. If you find such a section, please provide a brief overview of what it covers regarding transparency." to wikipedia expert
current url: https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/section/3-2/
Learned:
The opening article provided does not directly address transparency requirements for low-risk AI systems. It specifically mentions "Requirements for High-Risk AI Systems," which is not the focus of our query.
Discovered new sources: ['https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/']
Delegating question: "Please examine Article 50 of the EU AI Act and provide any specific information about transparency requirements for low-risk AI systems. If low-risk systems are not explicitly mentioned, please provide the general transparency requirements that would likely apply to them." to wikipedia expert
current url: https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/article/50/
Learned:
Article 50 of the EU AI Act provides transparency requirements that would likely apply to low-risk AI systems, although they are not explicitly mentioned. The article outlines general transparency obligations for providers and users of certain AI systems.
Quotes:
> Providers shall ensure that AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons are designed and developed in such a way that the natural persons concerned are informed that they are interacting with an AI system, unless this is obvious from the point of view of a natural person who is reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect, taking into account the circumstances and the context of use.
> Providers of AI systems, including general-purpose AI systems, generating synthetic audio, image, video or text content, shall ensure that the outputs of the AI system are marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as artificially generated or manipulated.
> Deployers of an emotion recognition system or a biometric categorisation system shall inform the natural persons exposed thereto of the operation of the system
The answer to the question:"
How is transparency defined in the AI Act and what transparency requirements apply to low-risk Ai systems?
" is:
The EU AI Act does not provide a specific definition for 'transparency' in its definitions section (Article 3). However, transparency requirements are addressed in Chapter IV, Article 50 of the Act, titled 'Transparency Obligations for Providers and Users of Certain AI Systems and GPAI Models.'
While the Act doesn't explicitly categorize transparency requirements for low-risk AI systems, it provides general transparency obligations that would likely apply to all AI systems, including those considered low-risk. These requirements include:
1. Informing users when they are interacting with an AI system, unless it's obvious.
2. Marking and making detectable AI-generated synthetic content (audio, image, video, or text).
3. Informing individuals when they are exposed to emotion recognition or biometric categorization systems.
4. Disclosing when content is a deep fake (artificially generated or manipulated image, audio, or video).
5. Disclosing AI-generated text used for public information on matters of public interest.
These requirements must be provided clearly and distinguishably at the latest at the time of the first interaction or exposure. The aim is to ensure transparency and inform users about their interactions with AI systems or AI-generated content, regardless of the system's risk level
Reasoning: To arrive at this answer, I followed these steps:
1. Checked Article 3 for a specific definition of transparency, which was not present.
2. Identified Article 50 as the main section addressing transparency requirements.
3. Analyzed the content of Article 50 to extract the key transparency obligations.
4. Noted that while low-risk AI systems are not explicitly mentioned, the general requirements would likely apply to them as well.
5. Summarized the key transparency requirements that would be applicable to low-risk AI systems.
Assumptions made:
1. The general transparency requirements in Article 50 apply to all AI systems, including low-risk ones, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
2. The absence of specific low-risk AI system mentions in Article 50 doesn't exempt them from these requirements.
3. The spirit of the Act is to ensure transparency across all AI applications, with potentially more stringent requirements for high-risk systems.
This approach provides a comprehensive answer to the question, addressing both the definition (or lack thereof) of transparency and the applicable requirements for low-risk AI systems based on the available information in the EU AI Act.
