The AI Ethics / Fundamental Rights Assessor performs the rights and ethics assessments and tests that Role 9.1's standard requires. Role 9.1 owns the standard and the independent challenge. Role 1.4 files rights harms as residual-risk objects. This role does the analytical work: affected groups, rights at stake, disparate outcomes, contestability, and the specific effects of agent autonomy on people — and produces the assessment Role 9.1 challenges.

Standing duties

• Perform fundamental-rights impact assessments where Art. 27 requires them — before first use of an Art. 6(2) high-risk system (other than Annex III point 2) by deployers that are bodies governed by public law or private entities providing public services, and by deployers of systems in Annex III points 5(b) and (c) — and ethics assessments to Role 9.1's method; update them when purpose, population or autonomy changes (Art. 27(2)).
• Test for discriminatory outcomes, contestability failures and rights effects of agent actions, including actions taken without a human in the path.
• Raise ACT02 when an assessment shows the rights profile has moved; raise ACT03 when testing shows production is harming a protected interest.
• Put findings into Role 1.4's file as rights objects with recommended treatments, so the risk management system covers risks to fundamental rights (Art. 9(2)(a)).
• Do not challenge one's own assessment: the challenge record belongs to Role 9.1.
