Recital 31

(31) In order to strengthen the governance system for AI systems, it is necessary to clarify the role of the AI Office in monitoring and supervising the compliance of such AI systems with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The Commission has exclusive competence as regards general-purpose AI models under Article 88 of that Regulation. To increase coherence, clarity and effectiveness, and in light of the reach and impacts of AI systems linked to those competences, the scope of the AI Office’s exclusive competence to supervise systems should be refined. In particular, the AI Office should have exclusive competence over AI systems built on general-purpose AI models, not only where both the system and the model are developed by the same provider, but also where they are developed by providers that form part of the same undertaking. However, in certain cases, in particular where there is specific sectoral supervision, responsibility should remain with the relevant national competent authority. Accordingly, certain exceptions should be laid down. The personal scope of this exclusive competence should extend to the providers of those AI systems and to their deployers within the same undertaking. Other deployers should remain subject to national supervision and enforcement. Moreover, this does not include AI systems placed on the market, put into service or used by Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, which are under the supervision of the European Data Protection Supervisor pursuant to Article 74(9) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.
