Classification evidence

• Relevance class: Direct AI relevance · European Commission · Exact cross-chapter artifact 'First Draft of the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice': 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 cross-chapter artifact 'First Draft of the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice': 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 · Commission library page metadata field 'Publication 14 November 2024' for first-draft PDF 109946. — The exact version is distributed through an official EU institutional endpoint.
• Sector tags: Intellectual property · European Commission · First draft, official PDF 109946, pp.14-16, Measures 3-5 and their sub-measures. — Proposes copyright policies, rights-reservation compliance, protected-content due diligence and rightsholder complaints.
• Sector tags: Agriculture and environment · European Commission · First draft, official PDF 109946, p.12, transparency documentation table, Energy consumption row. — Proposes documentation of energy consumption, energy sources and estimated emissions; the combined tag concerns environmental coverage, not agriculture.
