L2-M1 / Operational decisions
Classifying AI systems by risk
The vendor calls the platform low risk. It drafts adverts, ranks applicants and predicts maintenance. Which use are you actually approving?
Your fictional workplace case
One platform. Three different risks.
A supplier sells several functions together.
Classify the intended use of each function.

A method for your
next work decision.
