The AI Office should encourage and facilitate the drawing up, review and adaptation of codes of practice, taking into 
account international approaches. All providers of general-purpose AI models could be invited to participate. To 
ensure that the codes of practice reflect the state of the art and duly take into account a diverse set of perspectives, 
the AI Office should collaborate with relevant national competent authorities, and could, where appropriate, consult 
with civil society organisations and other relevant stakeholders and experts, including the Scientific Panel, for the 
drawing up of such codes. Codes of practice should cover obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models 
and of general-purpose AI models presenting systemic risks. In addition, as regards systemic risks, codes of practice 
should help to establish a risk taxonomy of the type and nature of the systemic risks at Union level, including their 
sources. Codes of practice should also be focused on specific risk assessment and mitigation measures.
