GPAI Code of Practice

General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice

The General-Purpose AI Code of Practice is a voluntary tool, prepared by independent experts in a multi-stakeholder process, designed to help industry comply with the AI Act’s obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models. The Code has three chapters: Transparency and Copyright, both addressing all providers of general-purpose AI models, and Safety and Security, relevant only to a limited number of providers of the most advanced models, subject to the AI Act's obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models with systemic risk. The AI Act defines systemic risk as specific to high-impact capabilities, i.e. capabilities that match or exceed the capabilities of the most advanced general-purpose AI models, that have a significant impact on the Union market. The AI Act currently presumes that models trained with a cumulative amount of compute greater than 10^25 floating-point operations possess high-impact capabilities.
