Proposal for a regulation
Article 9 a (new)

Article 9 a Fundamental rights impact assessments for high-risk AI systems 1. Providers, and deployers at each proposed deployment, must designate the categories of individuals and groups likely to be impacted by the system, assess the system’s impact on fundamental rights, its accessibility for persons with disabilities, and its impact on the environment and broader public interest. Deployers of high-risk AI systems as defined in Article 6(2) shall, prior to putting the system into use, publish a fundamental rights impact assessment of the systems’ impact in the context of use throughout the entire lifecycle. This assessment shall include at least: a) the intended purpose for which the system will be used; b) the intended geographic and temporal scope of the system; c) the potential risks of the use to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, including any indirect impacts or consequences of the systems; d) the categories of natural persons and groups likely or foreseen to be affected; e) the proportionality and necessity of the system’s use; f) verification of the legality of the use of the system in accordance with Union and national law; g) any specific risk of harm likely to impact marginalised, vulnerable persons or groups at risk of discrimination, and risk of increasing existing societal inequalities; h) the foreseeable impact of the use of the system on the environment over its entire life cycle, including but not limited to energy consumption; i) any other negative impact on the public interest and clear plans relating to how the harms identified will be mitigated, and how effective this mitigation is expected to be; and j) the governance system the deployer will put in place, including human oversight, complaint-handling and redress. 2. If adequate steps to mitigate the risks outlined in the course of the assessment in paragraph 1 cannot be identified, the system shall not be put into use. Market surveillance authorities, pursuant to Articles 65 and 67, may take this information into account when investigating systems which present a risk at national level. 3. The obligation outlined under paragraph 1 applies for each new deployment of the high-risk AI system. 4. Deployers shall consult with relevant stakeholders, in particular groups of natural persons exposed to heightened risks from the AI system, civil society and social partners when preparing the impact assessment. The impact assessment shall be repeated on a regular basis throughout the entire lifecycle. 5. Publication of the results of the impact assessment shall be part of the registration of use pursuant to Article 51(2). 6. Where the deployer is already required to carry out a data protection impact assessment under Article 35 of Regulation(EU) 2016/679 or Article 27 of Directive (EU) 2016/680, the impact assessment outlined in paragraph 1 shall be conducted in conjunction to the data protection impact assessment and be published as an addendum. 7. Deployers of high-risk AI systems shall use the information provided under Article 13 to comply with their obligation under paragraph 1.
