Article 104 Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013
Summary What does Article 104 of the AI act regulation say?
This is a short amendment article that integrates the AI Act's requirements into existing EU vehicle legislation.
Specifically, it inserts a new requirement into Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, which governs the approval and market surveillance of two- and three-wheeled vehicles and quadricycles.
The amendment ensures that when the Commission adopts delegated acts under that regulation concerning AI systems that qualify as safety components, it must take into account the requirements set out in Chapter III, Section 2 of the AI Act.
This article is one of several similar amendment articles in the AI Act that bridge the regulation with pre-existing EU harmonisation legislation across different sectors.
Important points:
- The Commission is required to take into account the AI Act's Chapter III, Section 2 requirements when adopting delegated acts under Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 that relate to AI safety components.
- This article amends existing vehicle approval legislation rather than standing alone, creating a direct link between sector-specific rules and the broader AI regulatory framework.
- The obligation is triggered specifically when the AI systems in question qualify as safety components within the meaning of the AI Act.
