The European Commission has released a voluntary Code of Practice to help industry comply with AI Act obligations regarding safety, transparency and copyright for general-purpose AI models.
This has been a long time coming and is good news, especially as it is voluntary. One does wonder though why it is still only focused on actors, rather than on agents themselves. At VERSES, we try to focus on the AI models rather than on the benevolence of the actors.
The question of transparency is importantly here. With many of these services claiming to be transparent and open source, I’m wondering if this particular point has been truly investigated. There was an attempt by the Open Source Initiative in 2024 to orientate some thought about this in proposing a new Open AI agreement. For which, to date, no major company complies. Any thoughts on this?
