TODAY’S NEWS: Major milestone for AI governance in Europe!

The European Commission’s AI Office is now inviting providers to sign the General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice.
A groundbreaking voluntary framework for compliance with the EU AI Act.

What makes this significant:

  • Developed by 13 independent experts with 1,000+ stakeholders
  • Streamlined compliance path for AI model providers
  • Reduced administrative burden and greater legal certainty
  • Covers transparency, copyright, and safety/security obligations

Key benefits for signatories:

  • Commission focuses enforcement on code adherence vs other methods
  • Greater predictability in regulatory expectations
  • Demonstrates commitment to responsible AI development

The Code addresses all GPAI model providers, with additional requirements for advanced models that could pose systemic risks. This represents a collaborative approach balancing innovation with responsible deployment.
Companies can sign up by completing the Signatory Form and sending it to EU-AIOFFICE-CODE-SIGNATURES@ec.europa.eu.
This is a crucial step toward establishing trust and transparency in AI systems across Europe.
