- technical documentation;
- information for downstream providers;
- copyright-policy governance;
- training-content summaries;
- open-source considerations;
- safety and security;
- systemic-risk assessment;
- evaluation and testing;
- serious incidents;
- corrective action;
- regulatory interaction;
- evidence;
- monitoring;
- assurance;
- change management;
- management review; and
- continual improvement.
2. Mapping Information
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, published on 24 July 2026, amended the AI Act as part of the Digital Omnibus on AI and must therefore be treated as part of the current legal baseline.
3. Source Hierarchy
3.1 Binding Legal Source
The primary legal source is: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended by applicable subsequent Union legislation, including: Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 — Digital Omnibus on AI. The current EUR-Lex legal text is authoritative.3.2 Official Implementation Material
Supporting material includes:- European Commission GPAI guidelines;
- European AI Office guidance;
- General-Purpose AI Code of Practice;
- official FAQs;
- EU SEND submission guidance;
- implementing and delegated acts where applicable.
3.3 AIGO Mapping
AIGO translates legal requirements into operational governance mechanisms. AIGO implementation mechanisms must not be represented as automatically equivalent to statutory compliance.4. GPAI Governance Principle
GPAI governance should be treated as a distinct regulatory profile. The recommended AIGO process is:- providers of GPAI models;
- deployers of systems based on GPAI models;
- downstream providers;
- organizations making significant modifications;
- organizations integrating GPAI models into AI systems.
5. GPAI Applicability
AIGO should determine:- whether the artifact is an AI model;
- whether it is general-purpose;
- whether the organization is a provider;
- whether the organization makes significant modifications;
- whether the model has systemic risk;
- whether an open-source exemption is relevant;
- whether transitional rules apply;
- whether the organization’s activity falls under another actor category.
6. AIGO GPAI Applicability Assessment
The organization should maintain a structured assessment containing:7. AIGO GPAI Classification
AIGO should use separate regulatory attributes for:8. Provider Role Determination
The organization should identify whether it is:- provider of a GPAI model;
- provider of a downstream AI system using GPAI;
- deployer;
- importer;
- distributor;
- other actor.
9. Significant Modification
Where an organization materially modifies an existing model, AIGO should assess whether the modification creates obligations applicable to providers of GPAI models. The assessment should consider:- technical modifications;
- retraining;
- substantial fine-tuning;
- changes to capabilities;
- architecture changes;
- changes to intended purpose;
- changes affecting systemic-risk characteristics.
10. Open-Source Considerations
The current Commission guidelines explain the conditions under which providers of open-source GPAI models may benefit from exemptions from certain obligations. AIGO should therefore record:- open-source status;
- applicable licence;
- openness characteristics;
- documentation availability;
- applicable exemption;
- obligations that remain applicable;
- evidence supporting the determination.
11. Systemic-Risk Determination
AIGO should perform a separate systemic-risk assessment. The assessment should consider the applicable legal criteria and evidence, including where relevant:- model capability;
- computational characteristics;
- scale;
- systemic impact;
- evaluation results;
- model use across downstream systems;
- potential severity of incidents;
- concentration of use;
- technical capacity.
12. Systemic-Risk Governance Profile
Where a GPAI model presents systemic risk, AIGO should activate an enhanced governance profile:13. GPAI Provider Obligations
The AIGO mapping should organize GPAI provider requirements into operational categories:- technical documentation;
- information for downstream providers;
- copyright compliance;
- training-content summary;
- open-source requirements/exemptions;
- systemic-risk requirements;
- safety and security;
- serious incidents;

The Commission’s current GPAI guidance confirms these dates.
50. Current GPAI Enforcement Baseline
From 2 August 2026, the European Commission’s enforcement powers for GPAI obligations apply, including the ability to enforce compliance and impose fines. AIGO should therefore treat GPAI compliance monitoring as a current governance requirement rather than a future readiness exercise.51. Digital Omnibus Integration
The current mapping baseline must incorporate Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. The Digital Omnibus amended the AI Act’s implementation structure and supervision arrangements, including provisions concerning AI Office supervision of certain GPAI-based AI systems. AIGO should therefore review GPAI governance whenever supervisory allocations or statutory provisions are amended.52. Regulatory Supervision
The current amended AI Act includes provisions allocating exclusive AI Office supervision and enforcement for certain GPAI-based AI systems, subject to specified exceptions. AIGO should record the applicable supervisory authority based on:- model;
- system;
- actor;
- sector;
- Annex I status;
- Annex III status;
- law-enforcement/border/financial-sector context;
- other statutory conditions.
