Article 86: Right to Explanation of Individual Decision-Making
This article states that if a decision is made about a person using a high-risk AI system, and that decision has a significant impact on the person's health, safety, or basic rights, the person has the right to a clear explanation of how the AI system was involved in the decision-making process. However, this doesn't apply if there are exceptions or restrictions in Union or national law. This right is only applicable if it's not already provided for under Union law.
