## Text proposed by the Commission

(60) In the light of the complexity of the artificial intelligence value chain, relevant third parties, notably the ones involved in the sale and the supply of software , software tools and components, pre-trained models and data , or providers of network services, should cooperate, as appropriate, with providers and users to enable their compliance with the obligations under this Regulation and with competent authorities established under this Regulation.

## Amendment of the European Parliament

(60) Within the AI value chain multiple entities often supply tools and services but also components or processes that are then incorporated by the provider into the AI system, including in relation to data collection and pre-processing, model training, model retraining, model testing and evaluation, integration into software, or other aspects of model development. The involved entities may make their offering commercially available directly or indirectly, through interfaces, such as Application Programming Interfaces (API), and distributed under free and open source licenses but also more and more by AI workforce platforms, trained parameters resale, DIY kits to build models or the offering of paying access to a model serving architecture to develop and train models. In the light of this complexity of the AI value chain, all relevant third parties, in particular those that are involved in the development, sale and the commercial supply of software tools, components, pre-trained models or data incorporated into the AI system , or providers of network services, should without compromising their own intellectual property rights or trade secrets, make available the required information, training or expertise and cooperate, as appropriate, with providers to enable their control over all compliance relevant aspects of the AI system that falls under this Regulation. To allow a cost-effective AI value chain governance, the level of control shall be explicitly disclosed by each third party that supplies the provider with a tool, service, component or process that is later incorporated by the provider into the AI system.
