# Recital (85)

General-purpose AI systems may be used as high-risk AI systems by themselves or be components of other high-risk 
AI systems. Therefore, due to their particular nature and in order to ensure a fair sharing of responsibilities along the 
AI value chain, the providers of such systems should, irrespective of whether they may be used as high-risk AI 
systems as such by other providers or as components of high-risk AI systems and unless provided otherwise under 
this Regulation, closely cooperate with the providers of the relevant high-risk AI systems to enable their compliance 
with the relevant obligations under this Regulation and with the competent authorities established under this 
Regulation.
