The EU Code of Practice and future of AI in Europe

In parallel, and in response to the tremendous appetite from European governments and businesses that want to seize the potential of AI, we are kicking off the ‘OpenAI for Countries European Rollout’ to get on with the job of building Europe’s AI future. 

Our technology has become essential for millions of Europeans. EU Member States are amongst our top markets globally for subscribers, API developers and business customers. Everyday, people, developers, institutions, start-ups and leading enterprises are unlocking economic opportunities throughout the continent by:

• Speeding up the development of life-saving medical treatments and helping researchers design new drugs faster, including through our partnership with Sanofi⁠(opens in a new window).

• Accelerating scientific research at leading European laboratories and universities like Science Po⁠ in France and the Max Planck Society⁠ in Germany.

• Improving education by bringing AI to secondary schools across Estonia⁠ and enabling teachers at ESCP Business School⁠(opens in a new window) to create personalized lesson plans and spend more time with students.

• Building a thriving European start-up ecosystem with a new generation of AI-fueled companies like Parloa and Pigment using our technology to enhance their platforms and compete globally.

The Code of Practice opens the door for Europe to move forward with the EU AI Continent Action Plan that was announced in April—and to build on the impact of AI that is already felt today. 

Europe must nurture and support AI talent on the continent; back local AI developers and entrepreneurs who represent future businesses, jobs and revenue; and put AI tools in the hands of more people to help lead Europe forward. 

Too often in Europe, the limelight has been taken by regulation. Now it’s time to flip the script and use this moment to empower Europe’s innovators to innovate and builders to build for Europe’s future.
