Google to sign EU’s AI code of practice despite concerns

BRUSSELS: Alphabet’s Google will sign the European Union’s code of practice which aims to help companies comply with the bloc’s landmark artificial intelligence rules, its global affairs president said in a blog post on Wednesday, though he voiced some concerns.

The voluntary code of practice, drawn up by 13 independent experts, aims to provide legal certainty to signatories on how to meet requirements under the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), such as issuing summaries of the content used to train their general-purpose AI models and complying with EU copyright law.
