Guidelines for providers of general-purpose AI models
The European Commission has published guidelines for providers of general-purpose AI models (GPAI) to clarify obligations under the AI Act. The guidelines help stakeholders understand applicable requirements and promote innovation. They include clear definitions, a pragmatic approach, and exemptions for open-source models.
Why it matters
For organisations providing GPAI models, the guidelines are essential to understand legal obligations starting in 2025 and ensure compliance.
