Tech lobby group urges EU leaders to pause AI Act
STOCKHOLM: Tech lobbying group CCIA Europe, whose members include Alphabet, Meta and Apple, on Thursday urged European Union to pause implementation of the AI Act, saying a rushed roll-out risks jeopardizing the continent’s AI aspirations.
Europe’s landmark AI rules entered into force in June last year with various provisions to be implemented in a phased manner.
Important provisions of the EU AI Act, including rules for general purpose AI (GPAI) models, were due to apply on August 2. But some parts of the GPAI, which were expected to be published on May 2, got delayed.
