EU AI Act in context
- Know each role's signature duties → and the ==terminology trap== that the Colorado AI Act says [[Developer]] while the EU AI Act says [[Provider]] for similar actors. (The four roles: developers, providers, deployers, users)
- [[AI literacy]] is a legal obligation under [[EU AI Act Article 4]], and [[ISO/IEC 22989:2022]] supplies the shared vocabulary. (Training, awareness and AI literacy)
- EU AI Act Chapter V sets two tiers: baseline duties for all GPAI providers, plus extras for [[Systemic risk]] GPAI - ==red-teaming==, incident reporting, cyber/physical safeguards and the odd one out, ==energy consumption disclosure==. (General-purpose AI models)
