Heute ist #WorldStatisticsDay und wir feiern in diesem Jahr das 20-jährige Bestehen des Europäischen #CodeofPractice. Das ist ein Verhaltenskodex, der sicher stellt, dass offizielle Statistiken in Europa unabhängig, in hoher Datenqualität und nach gleichen Standards produziert und zugänglich gemacht werden: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/de/web/quality/european-quality-standards/european-statistics-code-of-practice

Die Community der offiziellen Statistiken ist sich der Verantwortung bewusst, die wir gegenüber Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und dem Wohlergehen der Gesellschaft haben.

20 Jahre #CodeofPractice: Am 25. Mai 2005 verabschiedete die @EU_Commission den Verhaltenskodex für europäische Statistiken – den Code of Practice - und legte damit den Grundstein für ein robustes und vertrauenswürdiges europäisches Statistiksystem mit fachlicher Unabhängigkeit, Integrität und Rechenschaftspflicht bei der Erstellung amtlicher Statistiken!

"The substance of the draft is equally concerning. While its purpose is to help providers comply with existing obligations, the current draft goes beyond mere clarification – introducing new requirements not envisioned in the AI Act.

One example is the proposed role of “external evaluators” before releasing GPAI models with systemic risks, which is not provided for in the AI Act. The draft mandates providers to obtain external systemic risk assessments, including model evaluations, before placing their models on the market (commitment II.11). However, the AI Act itself (Art. 55(1)(a) and recital 114) does not impose this requirement – it only calls for adversarial testing of model evaluations, not independent external risk assessments.

Another example concerns copyright: measure I.2.4. of the draft requires GPAI model developers to make reasonable efforts to determine whether protected content was collected by a robots.txt-compliant crawler – an obligation not imposed by the AI Act either. Additionally, measure I.2.5. mandates that GPAI model providers take reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of downstream AI systems repeatedly generating copyright-infringing content and to prohibit such uses in their terms and conditions. However, these requirements are not found in the AI Act or the Copyright Directive 2019/790, which addresses only primary liability (i.e., the responsibility of GPAI model providers) and does not extend to secondary liability arising from text and data mining.

Again, the issue is not whether these requirements are reasonable, but that the Code’s sole purpose is to clarify the obligations of the AI Act, not to redefine them. Therefore, the Code must not be used as a Trojan horse to reshape the AI Act according to political preferences – bypassing democratic procedures."
