The European Commission has published a final voluntary framework, the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, to help AI companies comply with the EU's AI Act.
The code clarifies legal obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models, especially those posing systemic risks like aiding in the development of weapons.
The EU AI Act classifies AI applications into risk categories and imposes obligations for compliance. Companies must adhere to the act, with potential fines up to 7% of global annual revenue.
The code includes chapters on Transparency, Copyright, and Safety and Security, aiming to assist AI companies in demonstrating compliance, copyright law adherence, and managing systemic risks respectively.
