| (163) | With a view to complementing the governance systems for general-purpose
                        AI models, the scientific panel should support the monitoring activities of the AI Office and
                        may, in certain cases, provide qualified alerts to the AI Office which trigger follow-ups, such
                        as investigations. This should be the case where the scientific panel has reason to suspect that
                        a general-purpose AI model poses a concrete and identifiable risk at Union level.
                        Furthermore, this should be the case where the scientific panel has reason to suspect that
                        a general-purpose AI model meets the criteria that would lead to a classification as
                        general-purpose AI model with systemic risk. To equip the scientific panel with the information
                        necessary for the performance of those tasks, there should be a mechanism whereby the
                        scientific panel can request the Commission to require documentation or information from
                        a provider. |
