Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) - EU AI Act Article 27

Assess whether a deployer must perform a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) under Article 27 of the EU AI Act, and structure that assessment for a specific high-risk AI use case before the system is put into use.

Important: This skill supports a structured legal-compliance workflow. It does not replace legal judgment. A FRIA is inherently contextual and should never be treated as a box-ticking exercise. Always identify assumptions, open questions, and contested interpretations explicitly.

Before you start: If you have not yet confirmed that the system is a high-risk AI system, use the EU AI Act System Classifier first. Article 27 applies only in the context of high-risk AI systems and only for a subset of deployers.

FRIA Workflow

Follow this sequence in order. Do not skip the scope questions.

Step 1 - Confirm the threshold question: is this a high-risk AI system?

Article 27 only applies where the intended use concerns a high-risk AI system within the meaning of the AI Act.
