The AI Office is seeking experts for a 15 July workshop on independence and qualification requirements for external evaluators of GPAI models with systemic risk, with expressions of interest due 21 June. The work feeds into credible and reliable external evaluations under the AI Act and the GPAI Code of Practice. Assurance is becoming a formal market in Europe. Legal teams advising AI providers, deployers or purchasers should watch evaluator independence and qualification requirements because they will influence diligence, contracting and evidence of compliance.
