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.

The Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of the Flemish government coordinates the Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action SAPHIRe, which started on 1 December 2018. The aim of the project is to secure the adoption of personalised medicine in all European regions, including sparsely populated and remote regions and regions with different innovation capacities.
The activities of SAPHIRe are complementary to the smart specialisation partnership on personalised medicine – S3P4PM, which is also coordinated by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation.
