EU AI Act Article 27 requires deployers of high-risk AI systems to conduct a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) before putting the system into use. MeshAI provides structured FRIA creation, storage, and audit trail integration.
When Is a FRIA Required?
A FRIA is required when:
- The agent is classified as high or unacceptable risk
- The agent is used by a public body or private entity providing public services
- The agent performs profiling of natural persons
Required Fields
Article 27 specifies six assessment areas. MeshAI enforces all six:
| Field | Article 27 Reference | Description |
|---|
| (a) Deployer’s processes | Art. 27(3)(a) | Description of the deployer’s processes in which the AI system will be used |
| (b) Frequency and scope | Art. 27(3)(b) | Period of use and frequency — how often and for how many people |
| (c) Categories of persons | Art. 27(3)(c) | Categories of natural persons and groups likely to be affected |
| (d) Specific risks of harm | Art. 27(3)(d) | Specific risks of harm likely to impact the identified categories |
| (e) Human oversight measures | Art. 27(3)(e) | Description of human oversight measures implemented |
| (f) Measures if risks materialize | Art. 27(3)(f) | Actions to be taken if risks materialize, including governance arrangements |

Versioning
FRIAs are versioned. When you update a FRIA, a new version is created and the previous version is preserved:
curl -X PUT https://api.meshai.dev/agents/agt_abc123/fria/fria_abc123 \
-H "Authorization: Bearer msh_YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
