GPAI - Code of Practice
DATE OF UPDATE: 19 December and 14 November 2024
APPLICABLE DATES:
The final version of the Code of Practice will be published and presented at a closing plenary, estimated to occur in April 2025.
CURRENT STATUS
The EU AI Office released the first and second drafts of the General-Purpose AI (“GPAI”) Code of Practice.
The Code of Practice, once final, is intended to help providers govern the deployment and development of AI in an ethical, responsible and pro-active manner.
The deadline for compliance with the EU AI Act’s requirements for GPAI models is August 2025.
WHY IS THIS APPLICABLE TO CLIENTS?
The Code of Practice will be of interest to providers of GPAI, as it aims to support their compliance with the Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024 / 1689) ("AI Act"). The Commission may decide to approve the Code and give it a general validity within the Union by means of an implementing act. If the Code of Practice is not deemed adequate, the Commission will provide common rules for the implementation of the relevant obligations (Article 56 AI Act).
