Systems vs Models

One regulation, two obligation tracks

The EU AI Act sets system-level requirements based on how AI is used and model-level obligations for GPAI regardless of use. euaicompliance.net supports both tracks with evidence-backed assessment, documentation, and transparency tooling.

System track (use-case driven)

We tailor deliverables to the AI system in scope—its context, deployment pattern, and human oversight.

Use-case classification following Annex III and practical risk scoring.
Risk management, human oversight design, and in-context safety testing.
Data governance, logging, and post-market monitoring playbooks.
Technical documentation aligned to conformity assessment expectations.

Model track (GPAI)

GPAI providers need model-level disclosures irrespective of how customers deploy. We assemble the evidence and packaging for downstream sharing.

Training-data transparency artifacts and copyright diligence records.
Safety, bias, and cybersecurity evaluations with compliance evidence.
Performance summaries and model cards for downstream deployers.
Systemic-risk mitigation packages when thresholds are triggered.

FAQs

Clarity on scope and timing, so you can align program plans without over- or under-scoping effort.

Does the AI Act only apply to models?

No. The EU AI Act regulates both AI systems and GPAI models. Duties depend on your role in the value chain and the risk/use-case classification.

When do transparency rules kick in?

Article 50 transparency requirements apply from 2 Aug 2026, but voluntary transparency statements can be published now to build trust.
