AI Governance Briefing — June 24, 2025
Zeph Tech is wiring incident-routing playbooks for potential systemic-risk general-purpose AI designations so EU authorities and customers receive rapid, harmonised notifications.
Executive briefing: Article 53 of the EU AI Act obliges systemic-risk GPAI providers to notify the Commission and national authorities of serious incidents and mitigation measures. With August 2025 obligations approaching, Zeph Tech is finishing multi-jurisdiction routing matrices, customer communication templates, and AI Office engagement guides to ensure any systemic-risk event is escalated within hours.
Regulatory checkpoints
- Authority notifications. Providers must promptly inform the EU AI Office and relevant national authorities of incidents, including root-cause analyses and mitigation steps.
- Downstream support. Providers must equip deployers with technical information, patches, or configuration changes to address the incident.
- Documentation. All communications, mitigation actions, and follow-up monitoring must be captured in the provider’s technical documentation.
Operational safeguards
- Maintain contact directories for AI regulators, digital authorities, and sector supervisors across the EU to accelerate notifications.
- Automate severity tagging that links incident tickets to systemic-risk obligations and triggers legal/privacy review.
- Stage multilingual customer advisories, FAQs, and remediation guidance that align with regulator messaging.
Next steps
- Rehearse full lifecycle drills covering detection, regulator notification, customer outreach, and post-incident reporting.
- Sync the routing playbook with Zeph Tech’s August enforcement calendar and board-level risk dashboards.
- Track Commission and AI Office guidance over the summer to adjust notification thresholds and evidence requirements.
