Classification evidence

Relevance class: Direct AI relevance · European Commission · Exact Safety and Security artifact 'General-Purpose AI Code of Practice — Safety and Security Chapter': named commitments, measures or form fields implementing GPAI transparency, copyright or systemic-risk obligations. — The artifact directly governs, interprets, evaluates or operationalises EU artificial-intelligence policy rather than merely mentioning AI.
Sector tags: General cross sector · European Commission · Exact Safety and Security artifact 'General-Purpose AI Code of Practice — Safety and Security Chapter': named commitments, measures or form fields implementing GPAI transparency, copyright or systemic-risk obligations. The cited scope applies horizontally to AI systems, models, providers, deployers or affected persons rather than one economic sector. — The retained general_cross_sector tag is supported by the artifact's horizontal AI-policy scope.
Provenance tags: Officially published · European Commission · Final-Code page statement 'published on 10 July 2025' beside Safety and Security Chapter 118119. — The exact version is distributed through an official EU institutional endpoint.
Sector tags: Cybersecurity · European Commission · Safety and Security Chapter, official PDF 118119, p.18, Commitment 6; pp.41-43, Appendix 4. — Specifies cybersecurity safeguards and their implementation for model parameters and infrastructure.

Sector tags: Research and innovation · European Commission · Safety and Security Chapter, official PDF 118119, pp.14-15, Measure 3.5; pp.38-40, Appendix 3. — Provides research access, protection for external evaluators and requirements for rigorous, reproducible evaluations.
Sector tags: Defence and security · European Commission · Safety and Security Chapter, official PDF 118119, p.37, Appendix 1.4(1), read with p.11, Measure 2.1(2). — Requires identification of risks from enabling CBRN attacks and weapon acquisition or proliferation; the tag denotes security coverage, not military-only scope.

Last verified: 2026-09-05T17:58:09Z · Live official-page review on 5 September 2026. The Commission page names the thirteen chairs and vice-chairs leading the GPAI Code drafting process and expressly states that the AI Office appointed them; it is used for named external-author and commissioning evidence, not as evidence that the Commission or AI Office authored the Code.
Last verified: 2026-09-05T18:11:15Z · Official Commission page publishes the final GPAI Code and separate Transparency, Copyright, Safety and Security, Model Documentation Form and Signatory Form files (newsroom documents 118120, 118115, 118119, 118118, 118312). Narrow verification on 2026-09-05 checked the landing-page structure, stated purposes and download labels recorded in research/migrations/2026-09-05-relationship-evidence-migration.json; linked binary file interiors and retained bytes were not verified in this review, and no source snapshot was retained. Live re-review by AI-assisted reviewer on 5 September 2026 checked the official endpoint and exact-version identity, substantive scope, relevant dates and institutional attribution; prior verification history and retrieved_at are retained. Follow-up clarification: in this later expanded review, AI-assisted reviewer opened and read DOCX 118118 and checked its headings and substantive documentation fields. The earlier sentence about uninspected binaries is preserved as historical scope for the earlier narrow review, not a description of this later pass.
