Odaily Planet Daily News The European Union is developing the first "General AI Code of Conduct" for AI models under the AI Act. According to the announcement on September 30, the initiative is led by the European AI Office and brings together hundreds of global experts from academia, industry and civil society to jointly draft a framework that will address key issues such as transparency, copyright, risk assessment and internal governance. The launch plenary meeting was held online with nearly 1,000 participants, marking the beginning of a months-long process that will end with a final draft in April 2025. The code of conduct will serve as the cornerstone for applying the AI Act to general AI models such as large language models (LLMs) and AI systems integrated across sectors. The relevant working group will meet from October 2024 to April 2025 to draft clauses, collect opinions from stakeholders, and improve the code of conduct through ongoing consultations.
