BSA has called on the European Commission to ensure that upcoming guidance on the AI Act’s high-risk classification rules stays closely tied to real-world use, warning that vague or overly broad definitions could pull in low-risk AI systems commonly used by businesses across Europe. 
In its response to the Commission’s consultation on Article 6 of the AI Act, BSA stresses that the intended purpose of an AI system must remain the key factor in determining whether it falls under high-risk obligations. BSA also warns that treating all flexible or multi-use AI as inherently high-risk — or conflating them with general-purpose AI (GPAI) — would introduce unnecessary compliance burdens and create legal uncertainty.
