The European AI Office recently launched a Multi-stakeholder Consultation on trustworthy general-purpose AI models under the AI Act which entered into force on 1 August 2024. The consultation will inform the drafting process to detail rules for general-purpose AI model providers in the first General-Purpose AI Code of Practice and is an opportunity for all stakeholders to have their say on the topics covered. The Code of Practice will serve as a central tool for GPAI providers to demonstrate compliance with the AI Act's regulations.
In addition to providing input on key aspects of the Code through targeted questions during the consultation process, stakeholders are invited to express their interest by Sunday 25 August 2024 to participate in the 9-month inclusive and transparent drafting process for the first General-Purpose AI Code of Practice between September 2024 and April 2025.
A Code of Practice Plenary with Working Groups will be established, consisting of all interested and eligible general-purpose AI model providers and stakeholders. For each of the four Working Groups of the Plenary, Chairs and, as appropriate, Vice-Chairs are responsible for synthesising submissions from the consultation and Plenary participants. One Chair will be designated to take on a central coordination role. Interested independent experts can apply for the role of Working Group Chairs and Vice-Chairs.
For both initiatives, we invite a wide range of stakeholders – general-purpose AI model providers, downstream providers that integrate a model into their AI system, other industry organisations, civil society, rightsholders, academic experts and others — to contribute.
In parallel, the AI Office is developing a template and guidelines for summarising training data content, which will be adopted by the Commission and inform the Code's discussions. The submissions to this consultation will inform both processes.
The final Code of Practice is expected to be completed by April 2025.
