# Recital (118)

This Regulation regulates AI systems and AI models by imposing certain requirements and obligations for relevant 
market actors that are placing them on the market, putting into service or use in the Union, thereby complementing 
obligations for providers of intermediary services that embed such systems or models into their services regulated by 
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. To the extent that such systems or models are embedded into designated very large 
online platforms or very large online search engines, they are subject to the risk-management framework provided 
for in Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. Consequently, the corresponding obligations of this Regulation should be 
presumed to be fulfilled, unless significant systemic risks not covered by Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 emerge and are 
identified in such models. Within this framework, providers of very large online platforms and very large online 
search engines are obliged to assess potential systemic risks stemming from the design, functioning and use of their 
services, including how the design of algorithmic systems used in the service may contribute to such risks, as well as 
systemic risks stemming from potential misuses. Those providers are also obliged to take appropriate mitigating 
measures in observance of fundamental rights.
