Open licensing does not erase duties triggered by a qualifying employment-screening use and the company’s role.

- Employment screening is outside high-risk rules because the model is general-purpose.High-risk analysis follows intended purpose and use; a general-purpose model can support a high-risk downstream application.
- Treat open licensing as limited and assess the company’s high-risk duties separately. ✓The facts combine an open license with a qualifying employment use, so licensing cannot displace separate application and role-based duties.
- The model provider alone bears every screening responsibility.Responsibilities depend on roles and conduct; the company’s purpose-setting and deployment can create duties independent of provider obligations.
- Open licensing alone determines that no high-risk duties apply.Open licensing does not determine application risk classification or erase duties arising from the company’s employment-screening purpose.
The trap
Do not let an upstream license answer a downstream classification question. How to remember it
Open licensing does not erase duties triggered by a qualifying employment-screening use and the company’s role.
