The Five Main Points of the Product Safety Regulation
The AI Act prohibits AI systems designed to manipulate human behavior in ways that could cause physical or psychological harm. This includes subliminal techniques and AI that exploits vulnerabilities related to age, disabilities, or other personal factors to distort decision-making in a harmful way.
Non-EU manufacturers must appoint a Responsible Person within the EU to ensure product compliance, making them accountable for safety documentation and market surveillance.
Authorities now have stronger enforcement powers, and companies must implement better recall procedures. The Safety Gate system will play a key role in identifying and removing dangerous products.
Connected products must meet cybersecurity requirements, addressing data protection risks and ensuring products remain safe against cyber threats.
Marketplaces must remove unsafe products quickly, establish a single point of contact for authorities, and improve consumer protection measures.
