FRA (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights) releases a comprehensive publication titled "Assessing High-Risk AI," aimed at guiding developers, deployers, and public authorities on how to conduct Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIAs) as required by the EU AI Act. The publication provides a practical methodology for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating the risks that high-risk AI systems pose to fundamental rights, such as non-discrimination, privacy, and access to justice.

The guide details the specific criteria that classify an AI system as "high-risk" and outlines a step-by-step process for compliance. It includes checklists and case studies to illustrate how to balance technological innovation with the protection of individual liberties. This document serves as a critical resource for ensuring that AI deployment in the European Union aligns with the region's strong human rights framework, offering concrete tools to translate legal obligations into technical and organizational practice.
