EU finalizes General-Purpose AI Code of Practice for enterprises

The European Commission has published the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice to help enterprises comply with their obligations on transparency, copyright, safety, and security under the European Union’s AI Act.

Following the code of practice is voluntary — but the Commission presented it as a way for enterprises to be sure they meet their obligations under the law.

The Code of Practice was originally scheduled for publication in May, and some European enterprises had called for application of the EU AI Act as a whole to be delayed. However, a Commission spokesperson said earlier this week that it there would be no pause and that it would publish its guidance “in the coming days.”
