Demagoguery.

Already right now you have police accusing innocent people because some ML system told them so, and China running the world' largest social credit system based on nothing.

Ash. I should've been more clear. That's not the high-risk systems the EU AI Act talks about. I will not re-type everything, but this article has a good overview: https://softwarecrisis.dev/letters/the-truth-about-the-eu-ac...

You want a correct explanation, not some made up ex-post stuff.

Incorrect. High-risk systems indeed include certain machinery and processes, for example, in transport or in medical devices as well as operating critical infrastructure (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/202...).

Yes, and yes.

What's so difficult to understand about that?
