IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) — Question 6

A UK company has designed a facial recognition model to support border control.
The EU AI Act would apply to the model in all of the following situations EXCEPT if:

Answer options

• A. The model was released under an open source license.
• B. The model is deployed at an EU border checkpoint.
• C. The model is deployed at UK border checkpoints.
• D. The model was trained by an EU company.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The EU AI Act primarily governs AI applications within the EU jurisdiction, and therefore does not apply to systems used solely at UK border checkpoints. In contrast, the act would apply if the model is used at an EU border checkpoint, is trained by an EU company, or if it is released under an open-source license, as these scenarios involve EU regulatory oversight.
