The model and application may have different obligations: Which distinction should guide the manufacturer’s
General-purpose model requirements and downstream high-risk application duties are distinct and depend on different objects and intended purposes.
The question
Assume EU AI Act obligations apply. A manufacturer uses a general-purpose model to summarize factory inspection notes, then deploys a separate quality-triage application that prioritizes defects. Which distinction should guide the manufacturer’s compliance analysis?

- The application becomes a systemic-risk model because it prioritizes defects.Systemic-risk model obligations concern qualifying general-purpose models, not every application performing consequential prioritization.
- The model and application may have different obligations. ✓General-purpose model duties differ from downstream high-risk system duties, whose obligations depend on intended purpose and use.
- The application inherits only the model’s documentation duties.A downstream application may have separate duties based on its intended purpose; model documentation does not replace system-level obligations.
- The model’s general-purpose status removes application risk analysis.Using a general-purpose model does not eliminate evaluating the separate quality-triage application’s purpose, role, and risk category.
The trap
Identify whether the question concerns the model itself or an application built with that model. How to remember it
General-purpose model requirements and downstream high-risk application duties are distinct and depend on different objects and intended purposes.
