What Is Corrective Action?
Corrective Action is the steps a provider or deployer takes to bring a non-compliant or malfunctioning AI system back into conformity, or to withdraw it from the market.
Corrective Action — the steps a provider or deployer takes to bring a non-compliant or malfunctioning AI system back into conformity, or to withdraw it from the market.
Under the EU AI Act, providers who consider that a high-risk AI system they have placed on the market is not in conformity must immediately take corrective action — bringing it into compliance, withdrawing it, disabling it, or recalling it — and inform distributors, deployers, and authorities. Corrective-action obligations mirror product-safety recall regimes. A documented corrective-action process is a core part of post-market monitoring.
