The 10^25 FLOPs Tipping Point: Navigating Systemic Risk and Compliance Under the EU AI Act
While much of the EU AI Act focuses on specific high-risk use cases, a distinct and consequential set of rules has been created for a category of technology that underpins the modern AI ecosystem: General-Purpose AI models. Understanding the significance of the regulatory thresholds applied to these models requires a precise grasp of the Act's foundational definitions and its unique conception of "systemic risk."
