On Monday, 30 September 2024, the European Commission revealed the Chairs and Vice-Chairs appointed to lead the four working groups responsible for developing the Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI (GPAI), part of the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) enforcement mechanism. The selected individuals will oversee the process across four working groups focusing on:
- Transparency and copyright-related rules;
- Risk identification and assessment;
- Technical risk mitigation, Internal risk management;
- Governance of General-purpose AI providers.
In related news, EURACTIV reports that the first GPAI provider workshop is scheduled for mid-October with an initial draft Code of Practice being released on around 3 November. The timeline was proposed after the Commission confirmed that it had received almost 430 stakeholder submissions.
An article for the IAPP comments on the opinions of a Member of the European Parliament and former AI Act co-rapporteur, Brando Benifei, who was speaking at a recent EURACTIV event. Benifei remarked, "We need the Commission, the AI Office to finalise the guidelines regarding the prohibitions, (deliver on the) code of practice for the most powerful models," as an aspect that attracts global attention, he emphasised."
