The Commission has been sending mixed signals on the grace period for the signatories of the EU code of practice for GPAI models. I've tried to unpack the ambiguity around it to explain why it is proving effective in securing AI companies' support. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

Meta will not sign the EU code of practice for general-purpose AI models.

The Commission has published its guidelines on the AI Act's GPAI rules, setting out the interpretation of provisions for which it will be the sole enforcer. Some elements were anticipated to the AI Board, others are new. My write-up for @mlexclusive. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

The Commission has finally indicated how AI companies can sign the code of practice on GPAI models. A new Q&A suggests that model providers can decide not to undersign specific parts of the code. The review will occur at least every two years. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/ai-…

❗ Interesting move on the AI licensing front. Dutch news publishers have launched a voluntary collective dataset for AI training, an alternative to copyright litigation and exclusive licensing. Discussions are ongoing to scale this model across the EU. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

MEPs Brando Benifei and Michael McNamara, the co-chairs of the AI working group, have given their blessing to the final version of the EU code of practice for general-purpose AI models, dubbing it "a compromise that retains core protections." europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-…

The EU aims to simplify its digital rules, but beneath the surface lies a deep tension: political leaders are calling for genuine reform, while civil servants, whose careers are built on crafting rules, have little incentive to go beyond cosmetic tweaks. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

While the spotlight has been on the GPAI Code of Practice, an interesting statement by the chairs behind its systemic risk parts has flown under the radar. They call for regular updates, higher compute thresholds & focusing enforcement on frontier AI. mlex.com/mlex/artificia…

🎙️ I recently had the opportunity to speak with @ramshajahangir of the @techpolicypress about the final draft of the EU Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI Models. Give it a listen 👇 techpolicy.press/how-the-eus-vo…

OpenAI joins the EU code of practice for general-purpose AI model, the second signature of a leading AI company after Mistral. openai.com/global-affairs…

Final EU Code of Practice for GPAI is out — but key pieces are still missing. Will providers sign even without the template? The Commission confirmed a grace period, while a pick-and-choose approach seems to be the last resort. My @mlexclusive write-up 👇 mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

NEW: The final draft of the AI Act's code of practice for general-purpose AI models is finally out. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/co…

🚨 The EU may soon decide on the AI Act’s “stop-the-clock”. The topic is now on the agenda for the next European AI Board meeting on Sept. 18, where the EU Commission will present delay options related to the legal requirements for high-risk AI systems. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

Another EU country wants to hit pause on the AI Act. This time, it’s the one holding the Council presidency. The “stop the clock” bandwagon just gained a new powerful passenger. borsen.dk/nyheder/ai/min…

Leading AI companies could benefit from a two-month grace period to comply with the AI Act's rules on general-purpose AI models, and an unspecified longer timeframe for models with so-called systemic risks, @mlexclusive has learned. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

A well-functioning AI licensing market requires a new legal instrument that ensures transparency & remuneration for copyright-protected works used to develop AI, @AxelVossMdEP told @mlexclusive in an interview ahead of the publication of his draft report mlex.com/mlex/articles/…
