BRUSSELS, 14 JUNE 2023 – Today, the European Parliament has adopted its position on the EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act.
The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) fully supports the AI Act’s objective of promoting AI innovation while mitigating the risks associated with “high-risk AI”. EU tech companies should be encouraged to develop and use innovative AI models to compete with global players.
The interinstitutional negotiations, so-called ‘trilogues’, will begin this evening.
The following can be attributed to EUTA Secretary General, Victoria de Posson:
“As Europe moves towards regulating artificial intelligence, it is crucial for our co-legislators to maintain a risk-based approach, particularly in identifying high-risk AI use cases. We must ensure that the final text strengthens innovation and competitiveness in AI, and guarantees successful enforcement”.
