Guidelines on the implementation of the transparency obligations for certain AI systems under Article 50 of the AI Act — C(2026) 5054 final, Annex

(101) Article 3(39) AI Act defines an ‘emotion recognition system’ as ‘an AI system for the purpose of identifying or inferring emotions or intentions of natural persons on the basis of their biometric data’. The detailed explanation of this notion provided in the Commission guidelines on the classification of high-risk AI systems, including the practical examples set out therein, are equally relevant in the context of Article 50(3) AI Act.

(102) Since all emotion recognition systems are also classified as high-risk, unless prohibited under Article 5(1)(f) AI Act in the areas of workplace and education, the transparency obligation in Article 50(3) AI Act should apply in conjunction with the other safeguards and requirements applicable to high-risk AI systems.
