Negotiators for the European Parliament and the Council, which represents EU governments, reached a provisional agreement on the AI Act, with rules scaled to risk. General-purpose AI models (ones that can do many kinds of task) must meet transparency requirements, and the most capable face extra duties such as model evaluations and adversarial testing (deliberate attempts to make a model fail).
