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).

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).
NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
