Critical infrastructure — Kritikus infrastruktúra

This area is listed among the eight high-risk categories in Annex III, in line with Article 6(2). Unlike some of the other areas — biometrics, education, employment, etc. — this point is not broken down into lettered sub-cases according to the source material reviewed for the knowledge base; instead it covers, as a whole, AI used as a safety component of critical infrastructure. The rationale for the classification is clear: if the malfunction or a faulty decision of an AI system can directly endanger the continuity of electricity, water or transport supply, the risk to human life and health can be immediate and wide-reaching. From a business perspective, this category typically affects utility providers and operators of energy or transport infrastructure, not the average SME — for a consultancy or accounting firm this area is generally not relevant, unless it directly develops or supplies an AI solution for operating such infrastructure.
