Article 51 — Classification of General-Purpose AI Models as Systemic Risk

Article 51
Classification of general-purpose AI models as general-purpose AI models with systemic risk

1. A general-purpose AI model shall be classified as a general-purpose AI model with systemic risk if it meets any of the
following conditions:

(a) it has high impact capabilities evaluated on the basis of appropriate technical tools and methodologies, including
indicators and benchmarks;

(b) based on a decision of the Commission, ex officio or following a qualified alert from the scientific panel, it has
capabilities or an impact equivalent to those set out in point (a) having regard to the criteria set out in Annex XIII.

2. A general-purpose AI model shall be presumed to have high impact capabilities pursuant to paragraph 1, point (a),
whe25the cumulative amount of computation used for its training measured in floating point operations is greater than
10 .

3. The Commission shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 97 to amend the thresholds listed in
paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, as well as to supplement benchmarks and indicators in light of evolving technological
developments, such as algorithmic improvements or increased hardware efficiency, when necessary, for these thresholds to
reflect the state of the art.
