Artikel 109 Ändring av förordning (EU) 2019/2144

This is a short amendment article that bridges the AI Act with existing vehicle safety legislation.

Specifically, it inserts a new requirement into Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, which governs type-approval requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers.

The amendment ensures that when the Commission adopts implementing acts under that regulation concerning AI systems that function as safety components, it must take into account the requirements set out in Chapter III, Section 2 of the AI Act — the chapter dealing with obligations for high-risk AI systems.

Important points:

• The Commission is required to take into account the high-risk AI system requirements of the AI Act when adopting implementing acts under Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 that concern AI safety components in motor vehicles.
• This article is one of a series of similar amendment articles in the AI Act that align sector-specific legislation with its requirements, reflecting a broader effort to integrate AI governance into existing product safety frameworks.
• The obligation is triggered specifically where an AI system qualifies as a safety component, meaning it fulfils a safety function or its failure could endanger the health and safety of persons or property.
