Meta and about thirty companies ask the EU for a “clarification” of AI rules --[Reported by Umva mag]

Paris – About thirty companies, including the American giant Meta (Facebook, Instagram), researchers, and associations are calling on the European Union for a “clarification” of its regulations on artificial intelligence (AI), in an open letter published Thursday.

“Europe has become less competitive and less innovative than other regions and it now runs the risk of losing even more ground in the age of AI due to inconsistent regulatory decisions,” worry the co-signers of this appeal, among them Meta, the French advertising groups Publicis and Criteo, the Swedish streaming platform Spotify, and the Franco-Italian group EssilorLuxottica, the world leader in optics.

They believe that interventions by European authorities “have generated enormous uncertainties concerning the type of data that can be used to train AI models.”

In light of this observation, they are asking European policymakers for “harmonized, coherent, rapid, and clear decisions.”

At the beginning of August, the new EU legislation to regulate AI, unprecedented at the global level, officially came into force, with the objective of promoting innovation in Europe while limiting potential abuses. (September 19, 2024)
