EU AI Act High-Risk AI System Compliance Requirements

The answer

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems used in employment, credit, insurance, education, and essential services as high-risk. High-risk systems must satisfy requirements in Articles 9–15, including: risk management (Article 9), data governance (Article 10), technical documentation (Article 11), record-keeping (Article 12), transparency (Article 13), human oversight (Article 14), and accuracy/robustness (Article 15). The enforcement gap for most enterprises is Articles 9, 12, and 14 — runtime risk controls, decision records, and human oversight mechanisms. Corules addresses all three operationally: CEL policy enforcement implements Article 9 risk controls; the immutable audit ledger satisfies Article 12 record-keeping; the ESCALATE mechanism implements Article 14 human oversight for decisions that exceed autonomous authority.

How it works

Corules's policy runtime sits in the enforcement path between your AI agent and the action it wants to take. The agent sends a structured context payload to /v1/validate. Corules evaluates the context against a compiled CEL policy set and returns a structured decision — ALLOW, BLOCK, or ESCALATE — with a reason and audit ID.

Every decision is recorded in an immutable audit ledger. You can replay any past decision by providing the policy_set_version and the normalized input hash — the result will be identical.

Policy example

Policies are written in CEL (Common Expression Language). They are compiled once at publish time and evaluated in microseconds at request time.

// Article 14 human oversight: escalate decisions beyond autonomous authority
// Article 9 risk controls: block decisions violating risk thresholds
// Article 12 record-keeping: every decision logged immutably

// Example: credit decision with EU AI Act controls
credit_score >= params.min_credit_score                    // Article 9: risk control
  && dti_ratio <= params.max_dti                          // Article 9: risk control
  || (credit_score >= params.escalation_floor             // Article 14: human oversight
     && context.requires_human_review == false)
