## Amendment of the European Parliament

(69) In order to facilitate the work of the Commission and the Member States in the artificial intelligence field as well as to increase the transparency towards the public, providers of high-risk AI systems other than those related to products falling within the scope of relevant existing Union harmonisation legislation, should be required to register their high-risk AI system and foundation models in a EU database, to be established and managed by the Commission . This database should be freely and publicly accessible, easily understandable and machine-readable. The database should also be user-friendly and easily navigable, with search functionalities at minimum allowing the general public to search the database for specific high-risk systems, locations, categories of risk under Annex IV and keywords. Deployers who are public authorities or Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies or deployers acting on their behalf and deployers who are undertakings designated as a gatekeeper under Regulation (EU)2022/1925 should also register in the EU database before putting into service or using a high-risk AI system for the first time and following each substantial modification. Other deployers should be entitled to do so voluntarily. Any substantial modification of high-risk AI systems shall also be registered in the EU database . The Commission should be the controller of that database, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 55 ) . In order to ensure the full functionality of the database, when deployed, the procedure for setting the database should include the elaboration of functional specifications by the Commission and an independent audit report. The Commission should take into account cybersecurity and hazard-related risks when carrying out its tasks as data controller on the EU database. In order to maximise the availability and use of the database by the public, the database, including the information made available through it, should comply with requirements under the Directive 2019/882.
