The European Commission has kicked off its project to develop the first-ever General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, and it’s tied closely to the recently passed EU AI Act.

The Code is aimed at setting some clear ground rules for AI models like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, especially when it comes to things like transparency, copyright, and managing the risks these powerful systems pose.

At a recent online plenary, nearly 1,000 experts from academia, industry, and civil society gathered to help shape what this Code will look like.

The process is being led by a group of 13 international experts, including Yoshua Bengio, one of the ‘godfathers’ of AI, who’s taking charge of the group focusing on technical risks. Bengio won the Turing Award, which is effectively the Nobel Prize for computing, so his opinions carry deserved weight.
