The European Tech Alliance welcomes the European Commission’s proposed AI Act as a good balance between supporting much needed AI innovation in Europe and having safeguards in place to ensure high safety standards and public trust in AI. We welcome the EU’s leadership in creating an AI regulatory framework while supporting Europe’s global competitiveness in that field. For EU businesses, many of whom operate cross-border, it is crucial to have a single set of EU rules on AI rather than a fragmented country-by-country approach.
With this in mind, we set out some key points that we believe are important for Council and Parliament to take onboard during discussions on the AI Regulation.
