The European Artificial Intelligence Office has officially started the drafting process for a General-Purpose AI Code of Practice. This initiative is part of the European Union’s broader effort to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across various sectors, ensuring that AI systems are developed and deployed responsibly and ethically. The code will provide guidelines for developers, deployers, and users of general-purpose AI systems, focusing on transparency, accountability, and the prevention of harm.

The drafting process will involve consultations with AI experts, industry stakeholders, and civil society organizations to ensure that the code addresses the key challenges associated with AI, such as bias, data privacy, and security. The article highlights the EU’s commitment to creating a robust regulatory framework for AI that balances innovation with the protection of fundamental rights.

Once finalized, this Code of Practice will serve as a reference point for AI governance across the EU, providing a unified approach to managing the risks and opportunities associated with AI technologies.
