Article 90: Alerts of Systemic Risks by the Scientific Panel
This article explains that a scientific panel can raise an alert to the AI Office if they suspect a general-purpose AI model poses a significant risk at a Union level, or if it meets certain conditions. If such an alert is raised, the Commission can use its powers to assess the situation. The AI Office must inform the Board of any actions taken. The alert must be well-reasoned and include contact information of the AI model provider, a description of the relevant facts and reasons for the alert, and any other relevant information.
