Article summary

The European Commission has published the first draft of its General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI) Code of Practice, developed by independent experts appointed by the AI Office. This draft, based on multi-stakeholder consultations and workshops, will undergo further discussions in working groups and a plenary session. The Code aims to facilitate the implementation of the EU AI Act rules, which come into effect in August 2025. Key aspects of the Code include details on transparency, copyright enforcement, systemic risk taxonomy, risk assessment methodologies, and mitigation measures for advanced general-purpose AI models. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback by 28 November 2024, with the final document expected in May 2025.
