The Commission received almost 430 submissions in response to its multi-stakeholder consultation on the upcoming Code of Practice for general-purpose artificial intelligence (GPAI), as provided for by the AI Act.
The submissions received will inform Commission’s work to finalise the Code of Practice by April 2025. The provisions in the AI Act on GPAI will enter into application 12 months after the Act’s entry into force on 1 August 2025.
Key focus areas for the Code include transparency, copyright-related rules, risk assessment and mitigation, and related internal governance. Additionally, the input received will help guide the work of the AI Office, which will oversee the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act rules on GPAI. This input will also be used by the AI Office to develop a template and guidelines for summarising training data used in GPAI models.
The consultation forms part of the Commission's broader efforts to promote the responsible development of artificial intelligence. Contributions were submitted by a diverse range of stakeholders, including GPAI providers, downstream providers, industry organisations, academia, civil society, rights holders, and other relevant groups, all offering varied perspectives on how to ensure trustworthy and responsible AI within the EU.
