Surfaced wherever an AI system is designed, developed, deployed or used, in any sector, for civilian purposes: para. 4 scopes the Compact to the non-military domain and it names no sector, size or entity class. It creates no duty on anyone — its commitments are what Governments will do; its paragraphs addressed to companies, developers and platforms (22, 25, 32, 36) are calls; and endorsement (66) is voluntary. Two rows are conditioned on hosting user-generated content (32 (d), 36 (b)) and one on generating synthetic content (36 (c)), because those paragraphs are addressed to platforms and to content generators respectively.
