General-Purpose AI Code of Practice

Implementation FrameworkInternational

Summary

Voluntary implementation tool under the EU AI Act that helps providers of general-purpose AI models demonstrate compliance with AI Act obligations on transparency, copyright, and safety and security. The Code includes transparency and copyright chapters for all GPAI providers and a safety and security chapter for providers of the most advanced models with systemic risk.

Healthcare Implications

Not healthcare-specific, but relevant because general-purpose AI models increasingly underpin clinical documentation tools, patient-facing chatbots, decision-support systems, research tools, and healthcare operations platforms. The Code can shape upstream model documentation, transparency, safety testing, risk-management, and security practices that healthcare organizations and regulators may rely on when evaluating GPAI-enabled health tools.
