Providers of high-risk AI systems must implement risk management systems, conduct data governance, provide technical documentation, and ensure human oversight capabilities throughout the system lifecycle. General-purpose AI model providers must document their training data and comply with copyright directives, with additional requirements for models presenting systemic risk including adversarial testing and incident reporting.
