Article 103 updates Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 by adding a rule that when creating delegated acts about AI systems used as safety components, authorities must follow the safety standards outlined in Chapter III, Section 2 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, ensuring these AI systems meet standardized safety requirements.
Referring to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 is important because it contains specific safety requirements for artificial intelligence systems, helping ensure AI technologies included as safety components in agricultural and forestry vehicles will operate safely and reliably, protecting users and others from potential risks associated with AI.
Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 covers agricultural and forestry vehicles like tractors and equipment used in farming and forestry activities, setting safety and market-entry standards to ensure that vehicles meet essential safety, environmental, and operational requirements before they are sold or used within the European Union.
Delegated acts’ are detailed rules established by the European Commission to supplement or amend existing regulations; they allow specific and timely updates, like those regarding safety standards for artificial intelligence systems, without needing to rewrite an entire piece of primary legislation each time adjustments are needed.
