Use intended purpose and change history to recognise when obligations may shift.
Intended purpose is a key anchor for system classification and provider obligations.
A material change in intended purpose or a change affecting compliance can trigger substantial-modification consequences.
Do not assume 'fine-tuning' always has the same legal effect; analyse what changed, why, and whether the system's purpose or compliance profile changed.
Compare a routine security patch with retraining a CV summariser to rank candidates. Which change requires deeper role/classification review and why?
Based on the uploaded EU AI Specialist lesson notes and checked against the consolidated EU AI Act in force on 27 July 2026. Where the source pack and current law differ, the current law wins.
