1b.If a decision referred to in paragraph 1 is based on the outputs of a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the measures referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1, as well as the safeguards accompanying a decision taken in application of points (a) and (c) thereof, shall be without prejudice to the human oversight requirements imposed in Article 14 of this Regulation.

1.

A decision which produces legal effects for a data subject or similarly significantly affects him or her may be based solely on automated processing, including profiling, only where that decision:

(a)

is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller regardless of whether the decision could be taken otherwise than by solely automated means;

(b)

is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

(c)

is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

1b.

If a decision referred to in paragraph 1 is based on the outputs of a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the measures referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1, as well as the safeguards accompanying a decision taken in application of points (a) and (c) thereof, shall be without prejudice to the human oversight requirements imposed in Article 14 of this Regulation. In particular, the natural persons entrusted with human oversight must be able to understand properly the system’s capabilities and limitations, to interpret correctly its outputs, to remain aware of the risk of over-reliance on these outputs, and to decide not to use the system or to override, ignore or reverse its outputs. Automated processing shall not deprive the data subject of the right to seek human intervention, express personal views and contest the decision.

Decisions referred to in paragraph 2 shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1), unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
