Classification evidence

  • Relevance class: Direct AI relevance · European Commission · Exact cross-chapter artifact 'Third 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 'Third 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 11 March 2025' for the third-draft release. — The exact version is distributed through an official EU institutional endpoint.
  • Sector tags: Intellectual property · European Commission · Third draft, constituent Copyright Section, official PDF 113605, pp.2-4, Commitment I.2 and Measures I.2.1-I.2.6. — The composite third draft contains substantive proposed copyright measures in its own Copyright Section.
  • Sector tags: Cybersecurity · European Commission · Third draft, constituent Commitments, official PDF 113606, p.11, Commitment II.7. — The composite third draft proposes protection of model weights and associated assets against unauthorised access.
  • Sector tags: Employment and labour · European Commission · Third draft, constituent Commitments, official PDF 113606, p.12, Commitment II.13. — The composite third draft proposes worker non-retaliation safeguards for systemic-risk reporting.
  • Sector tags: Agriculture and environment · European Commission · Third draft, constituent Transparency Section, official PDF 113607, p.2, Measure I.1.1; p.7, Energy consumption fields. — The composite third draft documents model energy consumption and measurement methods; environmental coverage does not establish agriculture coverage.

  • 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.
