Governance shift

The EU AI Office has refined the specific qualitative and quantitative thresholds used to classify AI models as presenting systemic risk.

It establishes the regulatory line separating standard AI tools from those subject to the EU's maximum governance, auditing, and risk-mitigation mandates.

Exposure pathway
