EU AI Act: Draft guidance for general purpose AIs shows first steps for Big AI to comply
A first draft of a Code of Practice that will apply to providers of general-purpose AI models under the European Union's AI Act has been published,
Another commitment set out in the draft Code requires GPAI providers to have a single point of contact and complaint handling to make it easier for rights holders to communicate grievances “directly and rapidly.” Other proposed measures related to copyright cover documentation that GPAIs will be expected to provide about the data sources used for “training, testing and validation and about authorisations to access and use protected content for the development of a general-purpose AI.” While much detail still remains to be filled in, as the drafting process continues, the authors of the Code write that its measures, sub-measures, and KPIs should be “proportionate” with a particular focus on “tailoring to the size and capacity of a specific provider, particularly SMEs and start-ups with less financial resources than those at the frontier of AI development.” Attention should also be paid to “different distribution strategies (e.g. open-sourcing), where appropriate, reflecting the principle of proportionality and taking into account both benefits and risks,” they add.
