What's included
- Word with the Model Card template: intended purpose and use cases, training data and method, performance metrics by benchmark, known limitations and non-recommended uses, version history
- A fully filled-in example from start to finish
- Legal Notice
Why this document exists
Almost every company using AI has each model's information scattered: performance sits in a data scientist's notebook, limitations live in the head of whoever trained it, the original purpose gets lost after two team reorganizations. The Model Card fixes this with a one-page-per-model format, designed so anyone — not just the person who built it — understands what it does, what it's for, and what it shouldn't be used for.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Annex IV Technical Documentation?
Annex IV is the legal documentation required by the AI Act for high-risk systems, much more extensive. The Model Card is an operational one-pager per model — it can also be used for models that aren't high-risk.
Do I need a Model Card for every model or just the most important ones?
Start with high-risk models or the ones with the greatest impact on decisions about people, and extend it progressively.
Does this replace legal advice?
No. It's a technical documentation template, but it doesn't constitute legal advice or guarantee AI Act compliance on its own — see the included Legal Notice.
What format is it delivered in?
Word with the Model Card template and a fully filled-in example, plus the Legal Notice.
