Source detail pages are citation records, not standalone analysis. Related topic, entity, and archive links are editorial context and do not upgrade placeholder records into published claims.
Official Commission policy page with a time-sensitive signatory list. Signing the voluntary code is not itself a regulator finding of current compliance, effectiveness, or complete implementation.
Why this matters
Published claims
Published claim · cited evidence
The European Commission describes the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice as a voluntary tool assessed by the Commission and AI Board as adequate for providers to demonstrate compliance with specified AI Act obligations, and its July 31, 2026 page lists OpenAI among the signatories.
The Commission page distinguishes the code's transparency, copyright, and systemic-risk chapters. The signatory listing is time-sensitive, and signature alone is not a regulator finding of current compliance, complete implementation, or effectiveness.

It distinguishes California statutory duties from the EU code's voluntary compliance pathway and does not determine whether OpenAI or any other developer is covered, compliant, or independently effective.
