Step 1: Classify whether your software is regulated as an AI System, a General-Purpose AI System, or an AI model

05 August 2024

1. An 鈥淎I System鈥 under the AI Act means:

鈥溾 A machine-based system that is designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and that may exhibit adaptiveness after deployment, and that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments.鈥

鈥淎I System鈥 clearly has a broad definition and is structured to differentiate it from less sophisticated software which has been in existence and used for many years and which has not demonstrated a need for specific regulation. It is important to be able to distinguish between standard programming approaches and AI.

AI Models are essential components of AI Systems (the categorisation which attracts regulation under the AI Act) and while they are the key component of AI Systems, further components such as an interface, etc., are necessary to become classified as an AI System.

2. "骋别苍别谤补濒-辫耻谤辫辞蝉别鈥&苍产蝉辫;AI Models are defined as being:

鈥溾 Trained with a large amount of data using self-supervision at scale, that displays significant generality and is capable of competently performing a wide range of distinct tasks regardless of the way the model is placed on the market and that can be integrated into a variety of downstream systems or applications, except AI models that are used for research, development or prototyping activities before they are placed on the market.鈥

General Purpose AI Models are differentiated on the basis of the breadth of tasks which those systems can undertake. Recital 100 sets out that such systems have the 鈥渃apability to serve a variety of purposes鈥 and that they can be used directly or integrated into other AI Systems. Recital 99 clarifies that 鈥淟arge generative AI models are a typical example for a general-purpose AI model鈥.

General Purpose AI Models are treated and regulated in a different way to AI Systems due to their versatility, their manifestation as consumer useable general online platforms and potential to have systemic risks as a result.
