The FRIA is coming: Assess AI connectors, not just AI systems
Upcoming fundamental rights impact assessments for AI, known as FRIAs, may need to cover not just standalone AI systems but also the connectors and integrations that link those systems to other tools and data sources.
Why this matters: Most AI risk assessments focus on the model itself. That misses a lot. The connectors — the pipes that move data between an AI system and everything else — are where sensitive information actually travels. If your assessment stops at the system boundary, you are leaving real exposure unexamined. Regulators and compliance teams that ignore connectors are not really assessing the risk. They are just documenting the part that looks tidy.
