The article by CCIA analyzes a study that provides practical guidelines for creating a Code of Conduct under the AI Act, the European legislation aimed at regulating the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI). This study seeks to provide actionable insights to implement the Code of Conduct in a way that ensures AI is developed and used responsibly, in line with European values of transparency, fairness, and human rights protection.

The report identifies several key areas of intervention for the AI industry. First, it suggests that the Code of Conduct should include principles for transparency, requiring companies to provide detailed explanations of how their AI technologies make decisions. This will help avoid opacity in decision-making processes and promote user trust.

Another significant point is the need for a harmonized approach across the European Union. The study recommends that member states work together to create uniform standards, avoiding a patchwork of national regulations that could hinder innovation and cause confusion.

The article also emphasizes the importance of involving the AI industry and civil society organizations in shaping this Code of Conduct, ensuring that the regulations are realistic and applicable in the context of rapid technological development. The report stresses the need for a flexible approach so that the rules can evolve alongside the technology.

Finally, the study underlines the importance of concrete measures to ensure that AI technologies do not perpetuate bias or discrimination. The Code should include mechanisms to monitor and mitigate any risks associated with AI use, particularly in sensitive sectors such as healthcare and law.
