What EU AI Act Article 2(3) - AI Systems for Defense, National Security, and Military Purposes requires
EU AI Act Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 Article 2(3) excludes AI systems from the scope of the Regulation where and in so far they are placed on the market, put into service, or used with or without modification exclusively for military, defence or national security purposes, regardless of the type of entity carrying out those activities, whether a Member State authority or a private defence contractor; AI systems with dual-use characteristics that are used for both excluded military purposes and covered commercial or public authority purposes are subject to the EU AI Act for their covered uses while retaining the exclusion for their military, defence and national security uses; and Member States retain full national sovereignty over national security under Article 4(2) TEU, the basis for the exclusion confirmed in recital 24 of the Regulation.
