Programmes Digital, Industry & Space AI, data & cloudThe 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.

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant coordinated the Glaukos project, which answered the call topic published in 2019 of Horizon 2020 Framework Programme ‘Develop bio-based fibres and/or functional molecules to improve the performance of textile products’ under the Framework of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). The consortium partners took up this challenge by valorising industrial side streams and setting up a circular approach to the textile industry.
