Why is this material?
How the Commission evaluates general-purpose AI models and conducts fining proceedings is now set out in its own implementing regulation, with time limits and rights.
What does this mean in practice?
Providers of general-purpose AI models must be able to grant technical access to their model quickly and organise their file so they can respond within short time limits.
What may need to be reassessed?
- Record who internally handles a Commission access request and within what time.
- Determine which forms of model access can technically be provided.
- Mark business secrets in documentation so they can be identified quickly in proceedings.
