The European Commission has just released the third draft of the General Artificial Intelligence Code of Conduct, prepared by an independent group of experts—including me, to whom several dozen amendments were contributed.
This document serves as a fundamental guide for the responsible use of AI, outlining the guidelines needed to ensure these technologies remain at the service of people, without escaping human oversight.
During our work, we experts focused particularly on protecting fundamental rights, emphasizing transparency, and stressing the need to avoid distortions and discrimination in algorithmic decisions.
If these principles are truly applied, they could transform the relationship between individuals and major tech companies—finally placing the collective interest at the forefront rather than mere commercial gains.
Now, everything hinges on the final stage of approval, because the rules will determine how AI will concretely integrate into our daily lives.
