Article 21: Cooperation with Competent Authorities
Feedback – We are working to improve this tool. Please send feedback to Risto Uuk at risto@futureoflife.org
1. Providers of high-risk AI systems shall, upon a reasoned request by a competent authority, provide that authority all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of the high-risk AI system with the requirements set out in Section 2, in a language which can be easily understood by the authority in one of the official languages of the institutions of the Union as indicated by the Member State concerned.
2. Upon a reasoned request by a competent authority, providers shall also give the requesting competent authority, as applicable, access to the automatically generated logs of the high-risk AI system referred to in Article 12(1), to the extent such logs are under their control.
3. Any information obtained by a competent authority pursuant to this Article shall be treated in accordance with the confidentiality obligations set out in Article 78.
The text used in this tool is the ‘Artificial Intelligence Act, Text of the provisional agreement, 2 February 2024’, which was officially announced in this press release. Interinstitutional File: 2021/0106(COD)
Where new Articles have been added in later versions, and important fixes have been made, these changes have been replicated in the AI Act Explorer too. Also, in the 'Texts Adopted' from March 2024, many items were re-named or re-numbered, and items in the AI Act Explorer were updated accordingly. This means the content on our site no longer matches exactly with any official AI Act draft – it is a hybrid of multiple drafts. If you find an important update in a later draft that has not been updated in our tool, please let us know.
When a final draft is available, all of the text in the AI Act Explorer will be updated to reflect it.
