OpenAI aligns safety practices with EU AI Act’s GPAI Code
OpenAI has aligned its safety practices with the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice under the EU AI Act, the regulatory framework governing large-scale AI models in Europe. The move signals the company's intent to comply with emerging EU standards for how powerful AI systems are built, evaluated, and disclosed.
Why this matters: The EU AI Act is one of the first real attempts to put hard rules on companies building the most powerful AI systems. When a company like OpenAI formally aligns with its code, that shapes what 'responsible AI' looks like in practice across the industry. The code covers things like transparency, risk evaluation, and how companies report what their models can do. Whether OpenAI's alignment is genuine compliance or careful positioning matters. Watch what they actually disclose, not just what they sign onto.
