CE Marking (AI) — the conformity marking a high-risk AI system must carry to show it meets EU requirements before being placed on the EU market.
CE marking is the EU's long-standing "this product meets our rules" stamp, extended to high-risk AI by the EU AI Act (Article 48). Affixing it is a declaration that the system has been through the required conformity assessment. For AI, it signals that providers have completed the documentation, risk management, and testing the Act demands — not that any regulator has independently certified the system as safe.
