Summary

Operational bridge between EU AIA Arts. 53-55 (general-purpose AI obligations) and provider compliance. Art. 56(8) AIA gives adherent providers a presumption of compliance with the substantive obligations — distinct from industry self-pledges (Anthropic RSP, OpenAI Preparedness, DeepMind FSF) and from intergovernmental voluntary codes (Seoul, G7 Hiroshima). Chapter 1 (Transparency) operationalises Art. 53(1)(a)-(c) model documentation + training-data summary obligations; Chapter 2 (Copyright) operationalises Art. 53(1)(c) opt-out compliance + Art. 53(1)(d) text-and-data-mining respect; Chapter 3 (Safety & Security) operationalises Art. 55 systemic-risk-tier obligations including capability evaluations + serious-incident reporting + cybersecurity protections + model-weight access controls. AI Office monitors implementation; Article 65 binding-decision procedure routes cross-DPA disputes. Not a binding regulation in itself — providers may choose alternative means to demonstrate compliance — but the Code is the AI Office's canonical reference and the operational rulebook national-competent-authorities consult during inspections.
