With “breakthroughs” in AI making daily headlines, I admit—I have let myself get caught up in the hype more than once. But building safe and transparent AI, which is surely of the same importance —especially as systems become more powerful. That’s why the newly released 𝘌𝘜 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭-𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘈𝘐 (𝘎𝘗𝘈𝘐) 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 is worth attention.
𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘗𝘈𝘐 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 to align with the upcoming AI Act—covering transparency, copyright, and risk controls. While it has drawn support from some of the big-tech players, others have rejected it as regulatory overreach. Civil society and startups also advocated concerns about weakening protections or burdens on smaller players. So, no market consensus yet—but as we move toward mandatory compliance in 2026, this code is a meaningful step in shaping responsible AI.
