The AI Act requires providers of the most advanced AI models to notify the European Commission and to assess and mitigate systemic risks, including those from potential cyber misuse.

Omissions

• The AI Act uses the precise term 'general-purpose AI models with systemic risk' (Articles 51–56) rather than 'most advanced AI models'. While substantively equivalent in context, the legal threshold is defined by objective criteria including cumulative computational training exceeding 10^25 FLOPs (Article 51(1)(a)).
• The notification is made to the AI Office within the Commission, not to the Commission at large — a minor institutional nuance.
• The claim was made on 2026-05-19; the AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024, with the GPAI provisions applying from 2 August 2025. The MEP could have cited the published text and implementing guidance available before the session date.
