Article 93

Power to request measures

1.   Where necessary and appropriate, the Commission may request providers to:

(a)

take appropriate measures to comply with the obligations set out in Articles 53 and 54;

(b)

implement mitigation measures, where the evaluation carried out in accordance with Article 92 has given rise to serious and substantiated concern of a systemic risk at Union level;

(c)

restrict the making available on the market, withdraw or recall the model.

2.   Before a measure is requested, the AI Office may initiate a structured dialogue with the provider of the general-purpose AI model.

3.   If, during the structured dialogue referred to in paragraph 2, the provider of the general-purpose AI model with systemic risk offers commitments to implement mitigation measures to address a systemic risk at Union level, the Commission may, by decision, make those commitments binding and declare that there are no further grounds for action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Article 93 allows the Commission to request AI providers to take suitable steps to meet specific obligations, put into place measures that reduce significant risks identified during evaluations, or limit, withdraw, or recall their AI models if these pose serious systemic risks for users across the European Union.
Before asking a provider to take specific measures, the AI Office often initiates a structured dialogue to discuss concerns directly with the provider, aiming to cooperatively identify solutions and make sure the provider clearly understands and can adequately address the systemic risks raised by their AI model.
Yes, during the structured discussion phase, AI providers can offer their own solutions or commitments intended to address and solve the identified systemic risks; if these commitments are deemed sufficient by the Commission, they may become binding, making additional regulatory measures or further actions unnecessary at that time.
The Commission typically acts if evaluations reveal serious, well-substantiated concerns that a general-purpose AI model poses systemic risks at the European level, such as risks to safety, people’s rights, health, or the overall well-being and stability of societies within the member states of the European Union.
