Providers of General Purpose AI (GPAI) models face extensive obligations under the EU AI Act
– covering the entire lifecycle, from model development and training to system integration, release, and ongoing updates.
Highly compute-intensive models trained with more than 10²⁵ FLOPS are classified as GPAI with systemic risk. These models are subject to additional requirements. In particular, providers must carry out a continuous and comprehensive cyber risk assessment throughout the entire lifecycle.
This assessment must consider not only technical factors but also ethical and societal risks.
