How should providers establish and maintain the risk management system required by Article 9, and what are the key elements to consider?

Establishing and Maintaining a Risk Management System (Article 9)

Article 9 mandates a continuous, iterative risk management system for high-risk AI systems. This isn't a one-time task; it's an ongoing process throughout the AI system's lifecycle. Here's a practical approach:

1. Initial Setup and Documentation (Article 9(1), 9(2))

2. Risk Identification and Analysis (Article 9(2)(a))

3. Risk Estimation and Evaluation (Article 9(2)(b))

4. Post-Market Monitoring and Risk Re-evaluation (Article 9(2)(c), Article 72)
