Commission launches consultation on the Code of Practice for general-purpose Artificial Intelligence
The European Commission has launched a consultation on a Code of Practice fo proivdes of general-purpose Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) models.
The Commission invites GPAI providers with operations in the EU, businesses, civil society representatives, rights holders and academic experts to submit their views and findings, which will feed into the Commission's upcoming draft of the Code of Practice on GPAI models. Interested parties are also invited to provide input on ensuring trustworthy general-purpose AI models in the EU.
The Code of Practice, foreseen by the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), will address critical areas such as transparency, copyright-related rules, risk identification and assessment, risk mitigation, and internal risk management.
In addition, the feedback from the consultation will also inform the work of the AI Office, which will supervise the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act rules on GPAI. The AI Office is developing a template and guidelines for summarising training data, used to build the GPAI model. The template and guidelines will be adopted by the Commission and contribute to further discussions on the Code.
The AI Act, which enters into force on 1 August 2024, aims to foster responsible AI development and deployment in the EU. The provisions on GPAI will enter into application 12 months after the AI Act enters into force. The Commission expects to finalise the Code of Practice by April 2025.
Participants can find more information on the consultation on the Code of Practice for GPAI (deadline to submit your views 10 September), as well as information on how to join the upcoming drafting process (deadline for expression of interest 25 August).

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe
The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
