The European Commission has released the final version of the General Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice. The Code is a voluntary tool developed by 13 independent experts, with input from over 1,000 stakeholders, including model providers, small and medium-sized enterprises, academics, AI safety experts, rightsholders, and civil society organisations. The Code is designed to help industry comply with the AI Act’s rules on GPAI, which will enter into application on 2 August 2025. The rules become enforceable by the AI Office of the Commission one year later as regards new models and two years later as regards existing models. The Code consists of three chapters: Transparency and Copyright, both addressing all providers of GPAI models, and Safety and Security, relevant only to a limited number of providers of the most advanced models. The Code will be complemented by Commission guidelines on GPAI to be published ahead of the entry into force of the GPAI obligations. The guidelines will clarify who is in and out of scope of the AI Act’s GPAI rules.
