Pause deployment pending prohibited-practice analysis: Which approach should govern the decision?
Possible prohibited conduct must be resolved before relying on high-risk controls, notices, or conformity evidence.
The question
Under the EU AI Act, assume relevant duties apply to a logistics scheduling system. Testing shows prompts are designed to materially distort drivers’ choices and may cause significant harm; the vendor instead labels the system merely high-risk. The organization has not resolved whether the feature meets a prohibited-practice condition. Which approach should govern the decision?

- Proceed under high-risk controls and monitor outcomes.High-risk controls do not substitute for resolving whether the system’s behavior falls within a prohibited-practice condition.
- Request conformity evidence from the vendor before deployment.Conformity evidence may address high-risk requirements, but cannot resolve the separate question of prohibited behavior.
- Pause deployment pending prohibited-practice analysis. ✓The unresolved facts concern possible prohibited conduct, which must be analyzed before treating the system as eligible for high-risk controls.
- Add driver notices and retain the current scheduling design.Notices may support transparency, but disclosure does not make a potentially prohibited practice permissible under the EU AI Act.
The trap
A high-risk label does not settle whether another feature is prohibited. How to remember it
Possible prohibited conduct must be resolved before relying on high-risk controls, notices, or conformity evidence.
