The European Commission, through the AI Office, is responsible for the centralized supervision and enforcement of obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models with systemic risk.
To leverage the Union's centralized expertise and synergies, the powers to monitor and enforce the obligations of providers of general-purpose AI models should be entrusted to the Commission.
To make best use of the centralised Union expertise and synergies at Union level, the powers of supervision and enforcement of the obligations on providers of general-purpose AI models should be a competence of the Commission. The AI Office should be able to carry out all necessary actions to monitor the effective implementation of this Regulation as regards general-purpose AI models. It should be able to investigate possible infringements of the rules on providers of general-purpose AI models both on its own initiative, following the results of its monitoring activities, or upon request from market surveillance authorities in line with the conditions set out in this Regulation. To support effective monitoring of the AI Office, it should provide for the possibility that downstream providers lodge complaints about possible infringements of the rules on providers of general-purpose AI models and systems.
