AI Act, Article 53 (obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models)

Citation	Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 53
Status	In effect
In force	2025-08-02
Reviewed	as of 2026-08-15

Providers of general-purpose AI models must draw up and keep up to date the model's technical documentation for the AI Office and national competent authorities, make information and documentation available to providers who intend to integrate the model into their own AI systems, put in place a policy to comply with Union copyright law and in particular to identify and comply with a reservation of rights expressed under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790, and draw up and make publicly available a sufficiently detailed summary of the content used for training, following a template provided by the AI Office. Paragraph 2 exempts models released under a free and open-source licence from the first two duties only, and not at all where the model carries systemic risk, so the copyright policy and the training-content summary bind every provider of a general-purpose model. Article 113(b) applies Chapter V, which contains this Article, from 2 August 2025, a year ahead of the Regulation's general application date.

What it asks of an app

• Publish a training-content summary if you provide a general-purpose model
