• Title: Ethics and EU AI Act in Cases of Work Disability Risk and Alzheimer's Disease Risk Prediction
• Abstract summary: We analyzed two cases of AI tools developed to predict medical risks, the risk of work disability (case A) and the risk of getting Alzheimer's disease (case B)<n>We observed both cases using the ethical AI and the EU AI Act as frameworks, noted that they classify as high-risk systems, and that bringing them from the research environment to production would require a lot of work and compliance due to the related regulation.

• Abstract: Improvements in AI technologies have made it feasible to develop new types of medical AI tools. However, these tools raise new kinds of questions, especially in relation to the ethics and AI Act compliance. We analyzed two cases of AI tools developed to predict medical risks, the risk of work disability (case A) and the risk of getting Alzheimer's disease (case B). We observed both cases using the ethical AI and the EU AI Act as frameworks, noted that they classify as high-risk systems, and that bringing them from the research environment to production would require a lot of work and compliance due to the related regulation.

  We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems. There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them. Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.
