As part of EASA’s AI Programme, the Agency has launched a new Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2025-07 to provide the industry with technical guidance on how to set the ‘AI trustworthiness’ in line with requirements for high-risk AI systems that are contained in the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). The NPA is now open for public consultation for 3 months and your comments at this stage are very important.
The publication is the first step of Rulemaking task (RMT) 0742 that will be followed by a second NPA in 2026 to deploy this generic framework to the regulations of the relevant aviation domains.
This publication will help the aviation community to prepare for the future requirements for AI-based assistance (Level1 AI) and Human-AI teaming (Level2 AI). It addresses guidance on AI assurance, human factors and ethics. It also covers data-driven AI-based systems (supervised and unsupervised machine learning). The framework will be extended in the future to reinforcement learning, knowledge-based technologies, hybrid and generative AI systems. The current proposal lays a flexible and solid foundation for future adaptation as technology evolves.
EASA’s AI Programme Team would like to thank all the stakeholders who participated in the rulemaking group supporting the development of the current NPA and looks forward to working closely with them also on the second NPA.
