Within the next three weeks, the AI Office will likely appoint one important group of external individuals that will shape the implementation of a key part of the EU AI Act: the chairs and vice-chairs of the Code of Practices for General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models.
To provide some background: the rise of generative AI — including popular applications such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT — was not only disruptive in economic terms, it also created a political nail-biter at the end of the AI Act trilogue negotiations.
