Reasonably foreseeable misuse

The standard used in Article 73 causality assessments (per the draft guidance, 2025-09-26) to limit the scope of reportable incidents to those where the AI system was used within its intended purpose or in ways that the provider could reasonably foresee as misuse, excluding purely unexpected or wild out-of-scope use. This concept connects directly to the risk management system under Article 9, which requires providers to identify and mitigate risks arising from reasonably foreseeable misuse.

AI Governance: Applied Mastery

Use of a system in a way not intended but predictable given how real people will operate it (for example a manager treating an advisory flag as an automatic ban). Article 9 requires the risk-management system to address it, not only the intended use.
