- The housing administrator has no duties if the model supplier supplies technical documentation.Supplier documentation supports downstream governance but does not remove duties arising from operating a high-risk housing application.
- Model-level obligations and downstream high-risk application duties must be analyzed separately. ✓The EU AI Act distinguishes general-purpose model obligations from obligations for high-risk systems and their responsible actors.
- The model provider’s general-purpose duties replace application-level obligations.General-purpose model obligations do not replace separate obligations attached to the downstream high-risk application and its deployer or provider roles.
- Only the housing administrator has duties because applicants see the application.The model provider may have general-purpose obligations, while application actors can have distinct high-risk system duties.
The trap
Analyze the model layer and application layer independently before assigning duties. How to remember it
