Leading European tech companies and trade associations have issued a joint letter to EU policymakers, highlighting key concerns regarding the implementation of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act. The signatories urge the European Commission to ensure that the Act’s secondary legislation supports Europe’s tech ecosystem, fosters innovation, and strengthens global competitiveness.

The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) has provided its input to the European Commission’s consultation on AI definitions and prohibitions. EUTA emphasises the importance of a balanced, risk-based approach to AI governance that safeguards innovation, ensures legal clarity, and preserves the competitiveness of European companies.

While supportive of the iterative, multi-stakeholder approach, EUTA calls for greater clarity, balance, and consideration of stakeholder input to ensure the Code fosters innovation without overregulating the sector.

The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) has contributed to the European Commission’s consultation on the AI Act and the development of Trustworthy General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models. As the voice of leading European digital champions and scale ups, EUTA advocates for a regulatory framework that promotes AI innovation, ensures safety, and respects fundamental rights.
