ProgrammesThe European Commission has published the first draft of the General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI) Code of Practice.
The rules governing general-purpose AI models under the AI Act will come into application in August 2025. The Code of Practice aims to facilitate the proper implementation of these rules and will play a crucial role in guiding the future development and deployment of trustworthy and safe general-purpose AI models in the EU. Therefore, the code will be relevant for stakeholders engaged in this field.
Key aspects of the Code include details on transparency and enforcement of copyright-related rules for providers of general-purpose AI model, as well as a taxonomy of systemic risks, risk assessment methodologies, and mitigation measures for providers of advanced general-purpose AI models which may pose systemic risks.
The draft was prepared by independent experts appointed by the AI Office. This first draft is based on the contributions from a multi-stakeholder consultation organised by the AI Office, as well as a dedicated workshop that brought together providers of general-purpose AI models.
More information on the upcoming code of practice can be found on the dedicated Commission website and Q&A overview.

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03) and running from 2025 to 2028, UrbanAIR develops advanced digital twins that simulate the interactions between urban climate, human behaviour, and policy choices. These models enable cities to explore what-if scenarios, such as new green infrastructure, mobility measures or building designs, and assess their impacts on health, safety and social equity. The project consortium consists of 18 partners from 11 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Vito in this testimonial.
