The fact that an AI system is classified as a high-risk AI system under this Regulation should not be interpreted as 
indicating that the use of the system is lawful under other acts of Union law or under national law compatible with 
Union law, such as on the protection of personal data, on the use of polygraphs and similar tools or other systems to 
detect the emotional state of natural persons. Any such use should continue to occur solely in accordance with the 
applicable requirements resulting from the Charter and from the applicable acts of secondary Union law and 
national law. This Regulation should not be understood as providing for the legal ground for processing of personal 
data, including special categories of personal data, where relevant, unless it is specifically otherwise provided for in 
this Regulation.
