Limit AI Act foundation-model obligations to a transparency baseline
During the AI Act trilogue: confine foundation-model/GPAI obligations to transparency, keep the risk-based approach targeting high-risk uses rather than technologies, and reject 'very capable'/'high-impact' model tiers, the industry counter-position to comprehensive GPAI regulation.
Where it stands
Pressed by DIGITALEUROPE and 30+ national associations at trilogue stage (Nov 2023). The December 2023 political agreement and final AI Act retained tiered GPAI obligations, including systemic-risk duties beyond transparency for models above the compute threshold. The ask's successors live on in Code of Practice scope fights and omnibus simplification demands.

DIGITALEUROPE-led joint statement urges limiting foundation-model obligations to transparency standards
“It is vital that we reduce this burden as much as possible, and let SMEs apply GPAI, foundation models and other new emerging AI technologies in their innovations. This is why we support recent moves by Member States to limit the scope for foundation models to transparency standards.”
