Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA/IAMA)

The AI Regulation mandates a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) for high-risk AI systems for public authorities. This impact assessment is designed to evaluate the risks to fundamental rights and freedoms posed by the use of high-risk AI systems and to implement measures to mitigate those risks.

Considerati has extensive experience in conducting impact assessments and is familiar with all well-known models, such as the Human Rights and Algorithms Impact Assessment (IAMA), the AI Impact Assessment, and various European models. Considerati has also developed a practical approach to conducting FRIA and DPIA assessments in parallel, saving time and preventing unnecessary disruption to organisational processes.

While a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is limited to analysing risks to privacy and data protection, the FRIA evaluates the impact on a broad range of fundamental rights, from non-discrimination to human dignity, and environmental impact. Given the potential impact on fundamental rights and freedoms by AI systems, the importance of the FRIA will only increase.
