Question 2

Which three chapters does the GPAI Code of Practice consist of?

Accepted Answer

The Code of Practice consists of three chapters: Transparency (model documentation and public summary), Copyright (TDM opt-outs and removal requests), and Safety & Security (risk management and incident management).

Question 3

What is the status of the GPAI Code of Practice?

Accepted Answer

The Code is formally voluntary, but forms the practical translation of obligations from the AI Act (articles 53 and 55). Those who follow the code demonstrate compliance with legal requirements for GPAI.

Question 4

What is the function of the Model Documentation Form?

Accepted Answer

The Model Documentation Form is a structured document that deployers need for due diligence, risk assessments and technical integration decisions. It must be updated with each release.

Question 5

What must a provider do with text-and-data-mining (TDM) opt-outs according to the Code?

Accepted Answer

The copyright chapter of the code requires providers to respect TDM opt-outs. This means concrete procedures for identifying and respecting machine-readable opt-outs and handling removal requests.

Question 6

What are harmonized EN standards in the context of the AI Act?

Accepted Answer

EN standards are official European standards established by CEN/CENELEC. When designated as 'harmonized', they provide presumption of conformity: those following the standard comply in principle with corresponding legal requirements.

Question 7

What is a 'serious incident' for GPAI with systemic risk?

Accepted Answer

For GPAI models with systemic risk (Article 55), providers must report serious incidents to the AI Office and national authorities. This includes events with potentially broad impact on safety or fundamental rights.

Question 8

Why is version-pinning important in GPAI contracts?

Accepted Answer

Models change rapidly. Version-pinning ensures your organization maintains control over which model version is used and that material changes lead to reassessment rather than unexpected changes in behavior.
