3.1 Chapter Overview

In this chapter, I consider whether the requirements for high-risk AI systems in the AIA may apply to ANS deployed in commercial cargo shipping. The AIA sets out two main conditions that must be met for this to be the case. First, the ANS must fall within the general scope of the Act.^{(1) Thesis Section 3.2.} Second, the ANS must be classified as "high-risk AI systems".^{(2) Thesis Section 3.3.}

However, even if these conditions are met, the requirements may still not apply, as there are certain potential barriers that must be considered. I will briefly discuss one such barrier within the AIA itself, namely Article 2(2).^{(3) Thesis Sections 3.3.1 (introduction) and 3.3.3 (demonstration of significance).} I will also, in greater detail, discuss whether the MED functions as lex specialis to the AIA and its requirements in the context of ANS, and thereby taking precedence.^{(4) Thesis Section 3.4.}
