- Publishing the full model weights openly and granting each competing provider royalty-free access to the training pipeline.Plausible but wrong: the Act does not require open publication of weights or competitor access.
- Obtaining explicit opt-in consent from every single individual whose data ever appeared in the training corpus.Plausible but wrong: consent is a data-protection concept, not a blanket high-risk obligation under the AI Act.
- Registering each end user with the AI Office and reporting their identities before the system operates.Wrong: the Act does not require registering or reporting individual end users' identities.
- Establishing a risk-management system, data governance, technical documentation, and record-keeping through logging. ✓Correct: these are among the core mandatory obligations for high-risk AI systems under the Act.

High-risk systems require risk management, data governance, technical documentation, and record-keeping (logging), among other duties.
