EU Unveils Voluntary Code to Steer AI Firms Toward Compliance

The framework grants signatories relief from certain administrative checks under the upcoming AI Act

Overview

  • The non-binding code sets transparency guidelines for general-purpose AI models such as ChatGPT, Grok and Google’s Gemini.
  • It recommends excluding data sources known for repeated piracy to protect intellectual property rights.
  • Signatory companies must continuously verify that AI-generated outputs do not contain insulting or violent content.
  • Firms adhering to the code will benefit from reduced administrative scrutiny when demonstrating compliance with the EU AI Act.
  • Forty-six industry leaders, including Airbus and Mercedes-Benz, have urged a postponement of the regulation’s main provisions.
