The European Commission has published a template to help General-Purpose AI (GPAI) providers summarise the content used to train their model.
This template is a simple, uniform and effective manner for GPAI providers to increase transparency in line with the AI Act, including making such a summary publicly available.
Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, said: “Today’s template adopted by the Commission is another important step towards trustworthy and transparent AI. By providing an easy-to-use document, we are supporting providers of general-purpose AI models to comply with the AI Act. This is how we can build trust in AI and unlock its full potential for the benefit of the economy and the society.”
General-purpose AI models are trained with large quantities of data but there is only limited information available regarding the origin of this data. The public summary will provide a comprehensive overview of the data used to train a model, list main data collections and explain other sources used. This template will also assist parties with legitimate interests, such as copyright holders, in exercising their rights under Union law.
The template is part of a broader initiative linked to the EU-wide rules for general-purpose AI models kicking in on 2 August 2025. It complements the guidelines on the scope of the rules for general-purpose AI models, published 18 July, and the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice released on 10 July.
