EU rules on general-purpose AI models start to apply tomorrow, bringing more transparency, safety, accountability

Brussels [Belgium], August 2: Tomorrow, the AI Act obligations for providers of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models enter into application across the EU.
This will bring more transparency, safety and accountability to AI systems on the market. These rules mean clearer information about how AI models are trained, better enforcement of copyright protections and more responsible AI development.
To assist providers, the European Commission published guidelines clarifying who must comply with the obligations. GPAI models are defined as those trained with over 10^23 FLOP and capable of generating language. Additionally, the Commission published a template to help providers in summarising the data used to train their models
