A new European standard, prEN 18228, aims to formalize AI risk assessment by requiring organizations to identify hazards, evaluate risks, and monitor controls throughout an AI system's lifecycle. While this standard brings structure and a product safety mindset, it may not adequately address the unique failure modes of AI systems, which can be context-dependent and only visible after deployment. The standard's reliance on traditional probability-times-severity models may obscure critical distinctions between frequent, low-impact errors and rare, severe failures, potentially leading to inadequate decision-making regarding system deployment.
