Artificial intelligence

As Europe shapes the future of artificial intelligence (AI) through the AI Act and the General Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice, it faces a critical challenge: how to foster innovation while ensuring responsible AI governance.
The latest EUTA paper, Ensuring Europe’s Competitiveness: Key Principles and Actions for the GPAI Code of Practice, sets out the essential steps to ensure European companies can compete effectively on the global AI stage.

The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) hosted a pivotal event in Paris, bringing together European industry leaders to discuss the future of AI in Europe.

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.
