What EU AI Act Annex VIII - Technical Documentation Requirements for General-Purpose AI Models requires
EU AI Act Regulation 2024/1689 Annex VIII specifies the mandatory technical documentation that providers of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models must prepare and maintain under Article 53 - the documentation requirements are divided into two sections: Section 1 covering all GPAI models (general information, description of model elements and development process, information about training and testing processes and data used, energy consumption, intellectual property measures, known or foreseeable risks); and Section 2 adding supplementary requirements for GPAI models with systemic risk under Article 51 (capability evaluations, adversarial testing, incident response procedures, cybersecurity measures); the Annex VIII documentation differs from the Annex IV documentation for high-risk AI systems and is specific to the GPAI model layer, not the downstream deployer applications built on it.
