  "title": "EU AI Act (EU) 2024/1689 - Article 25: Responsibilities Along the AI Value Chain",
  "domain": "AI Governance & Law",
  "version": "2.0",
  "last_updated": "2026-05-09",
  "bluf": "Article 25 establishes clear role transitions within the AI value chain that shift provider obligations to other economic operators. An importer or distributor becomes a provider - and assumes all Article 16 provider obligations - when they: (a) place a high-risk AI system on the market under their own name or trademark; (b) modify the intended purpose of a high-risk AI system already placed on the market; or (c) make a substantial modification to a high-risk AI system. Additionally, any provider who integrates a general-purpose AI (GPAI) model into a high-risk AI system becomes responsible for the high-risk AI system's compliance with the EU AI Act - even if the GPAI model was developed by a third party. Article 25 also addresses the case where a high-risk AI system is developed for a deployer's own internal use - the deployer becomes the provider.",
