The European Commission published guidelines on the definition of 'AI systems', explaining the practical application of the legal concept of an AI system as anchored in the AI Act. By issuing guidelines, the Commission aims to assist stakeholders in determining whether a software system constitutes an AI system - in order to facilitate the effective application of the AI Act.
The guidelines on the AI system definition are not binding. They are designed to evolve over time and will be updated in light of practical experiences and use cases that arise.
