• 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: 2026-09-05T17:58:09Z · Official library page published 11 March 2025 supplies the third-draft overview and separate Commitments, Transparency, Copyright, and Safety and Security English files (newsroom documents 113606, 113607, 113605, 113608). 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.
