The EU recently released a first draft of the Code of Conduct for General Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) model, aiming to provide compliance guidelines for companies and avoid huge fines. The criteria covers key areas such as transparency, copyright, risk assessment and risk mitigation, and puts strict requirements on developers of high-computing AI models, such as OpenAI, Google and other companies. The first draft clearly stipulates the punishment measures for violations, which can reach up to 35 million euros or 7% of the global annual profit, whichever is higher. The EU encourages stakeholders to actively provide feedback and jointly improve the guidelines, and the final version will be released on May 1, 2025. The introduction of this principle indicates that the artificial intelligence industry is increasingly strict and that companies need to actively adapt to and abide by relevant regulations.
The first draft of the GPAI model code of conduct released by the EU provides an important reference for the development of the artificial intelligence industry and also reflects the EU's determination to regulate the application of artificial intelligence technology. The improvement and implementation of subsequent versions will have a profound impact on the global artificial intelligence industry and promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence technology.
