Questions and answers on the Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI
Q&A on the code of practice for general-purpose AI models. The Commission emphasises that the code is voluntary and creates no new obligations, but serves as a tool to comply with the existing obligations in the regulation. The code has three chapters: transparency and copyright for all general-purpose AI providers, and safety and security only for providers of the most advanced models with systemic risk. It also clarifies how the transparency rules for general-purpose AI models relate to the transparency obligations of Article 50 for AI systems.
